Orchestrating AI Agents Across the Entire Software Development Lifecycle

Orchestrating AI Agents Across the Entire Software Development Lifecycle featured image

Published on July 11, 2026

As AI makes its way into software development, engineers are coding quicker. Development accelerates, but many organizations are discovering that the biggest delays happen after code is written. To realize the full value of AI, engineering teams need more than individual productivity tools. They need AI that can work across the full software delivery lifecycle. That is where GitLab Duo Agent Platform comes in. The Duo Agent Platform helps teams move beyond one-off AI assistance by bringing agentic AI directly into the GitLab environment. Instead of relying on disconnected tools or isolated prompts, teams can use AI agents that understand project context and support work across planning, development, and operations. This allows organizations to automate more complex tasks while maintaining the review processes, permissions, and auditability that modern engineering teams depend on.

With the right implementation strategy, organizations can use GitLab to bring AI into the full DevSecOps workflow.
