About GitLab
GitLab is the Intelligent Orchestration Platform where software teams and their AI agents stay in flow to amplify their capacity for innovation. Together, they automate repetitive tasks to plan, build, secure, test, deploy and maintain software. With GitLab, software teams spend less time on coordination overhead and more time on the next big idea. GitLab Duo Agent Platform provides AI agents that automate tasks across the software lifecycle. Agents handle code generation, security analysis, code review, CI/CD troubleshooting, and custom workflows — while teams maintain control through enterprise governance. Build what's next with us.
