POSITIONING
Adopt an autonomous operating model now.
Agent for GitLab is built for organizations that want execution-grade autonomy and infrastructure-level control. It complements GitLab Duo where needed and stands independently where full control is required.
| Capability | Agent for GitLab | GitLab Duo |
|---|---|---|
| Works with any GitLab tier | Yes | Depends on tier and feature scope |
| Dependency on Duo | None | Native GitLab offering |
| Kubernetes deployment model | First-class | Platform managed by GitLab |
| Private LLM endpoint integration | Supported | Policy-dependent |
| Autonomous task execution | Core capability | Focused on AI assistance workflows |
| Cross-stage delivery orchestration | Built in | Limited by feature scope |
| Policy-aligned operating control | Customer-defined and runtime enforceable | Platform-defined defaults |
| Open source availability | Yes | No |
Comparison is directional and should be validated against your current GitLab Duo feature set.
