    GitLab Duo Enhances Automation and Security but Falls Short in Pure Development

    4.0
    Jun 2, 2025
    GitLab Duo is a powerful AI assistant for the teams already using gitlab, especially those invested in DevSecOps. It shines in automation and security but may not replace standalone AI coding tools for pure development tasks.
