Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Elastic
Agent platform
A builder for custom AI agents that answer questions and take actions over data indexed in Elasticsearch, using configurable tools, skills and prompts.
An automation engine that runs both scripted steps and AI agents which reason through investigations and execute response actions against data in Elasticsearch.
Platform
A conversational assistant embedded in Kibana that answers natural-language questions against a customer's own indexed data across Elastic's Observability, Security and Search solutions.
GitLab
Agent platform
Agent platform inside GitLab that combines conversational assistance with purpose-built agents for planning, development, security and deployment, governed by the same enterprise controls as the repository.
Platform
Add-on that runs the GitLab AI Gateway and customer-chosen large language models inside the customer's own infrastructure so GitLab Duo request and response data stays in that environment.
No counterpart
Elastic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for GitLab yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
An AI security-operations layer that correlates alerts from a customer's existing security tools, prioritizes threats and guides response workflows without replacing their SIEM.
GenAI- and ML-driven capability inside Elastic Observability that automatically detects, diagnoses and helps resolve operational issues, providing recommended actions for SREs.
Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.
Agentic security-operations platform unifying SIEM, XDR and native automation, with autonomous agents handling detection-to-response workflows and purpose-built AI skills for threat hunting, alert analysis and detection engineering; supports multiple LLMs including on-premises models.
Model API
Hosted inference endpoint that runs Elastic-managed LLMs, the ELSER sparse-embedding model and third-party embedding models for ingest, search and chat without provisioning ML nodes in a customer's own Elasticsearch deployment.
GitLab sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Elastic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
Add-on that embeds Amazon Q agents in GitLab Self-Managed to perform feature planning, code generation, unit test generation, merge request review, vulnerability remediation and Java codebase upgrades.
Developer tool
Code completion and generation in the IDE that predictively completes code blocks, writes function logic and generates tests inside GitLab-supported editors.
Data service
Context graph that indexes a GitLab instance's code, merge requests, pipelines, deployments and ownership data into a queryable property graph for AI agents and engineers.
