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.
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.
Snowflake
AI agent
A data-native autonomous coding agent, rebranded from Cortex Code, that turns natural-language requests into pipelines, analytics, models, apps and agents from a desktop app, CLI or Snowsight.
An enterprise AI work agent, rebranded from Snowflake Intelligence, letting knowledge workers question enterprise data and act across connected tools such as Slack, Gmail and Salesforce.
Platform
Managed data platform for storing, querying and governing data, with model and agent features running next to it.
Set of model, search and agent features that run inside Snowflake against data already in the account.
No counterpart
GitLab sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Snowflake 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.
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.
Snowflake sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for GitLab yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
A REST API that orchestrates Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search and custom tools in a single reasoning loop for building enterprise AI agents.
A Cortex API that converts natural-language questions into governed SQL against a semantic model for self-service analytics.
A managed hybrid vector-and-keyword retrieval service for building RAG applications over Snowflake-hosted structured and unstructured data.
A Cortex document-processing service, built on Snowflake's Arctic-TILT model, that extracts structured data from PDFs and other unstructured documents.
