Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
GitLab
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.
JetBrains
AI agent
Coding agent from JetBrains that plans, implements and tests changes from the terminal, an IDE, GitHub or GitLab, with human-in-the-loop approval and a choice of underlying model.
Developer tool
In-IDE AI assistance across JetBrains' IDEs — chat, code completion and agent-driven workflows — plus governance controls for teams, sold as a subscription shared with Junie.
No counterpart
GitLab sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for JetBrains yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
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.
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.
