GitLab has recently launched Duo Chat, integrating conversational AI into the workflow to simplify the developer experience. Duo Chat allows for natural language conversations within the GitLab platform, providing code explanations, generating tests, and simplifying coding tasks. GitLab emphasizes privacy, using advanced technologies to support the backend of Duo Chat to ensure that user data is not used for AI model training. This tool aims to boost developer productivity by offering comprehensive AI-driven features within a unified platform, streamlining the development workflow.
