GitLab

AI agent

GitLab Duo with Amazon QAI 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

GitLab Duo Agent Platform Self-HostedPlatform

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

GitLab OrbitData 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.

Toloka

AI agent

TendemAI agent

A hybrid AI-plus-human agent that takes a delegated task - research, data analysis, copywriting, design or development - has AI do the first pass, then routes it to one of 10,000+ vetted experts for verification and multi-layer QA, returning results in 2-24 hours.

Platform

Toloka ArenaPlatform

An independent evaluation platform that ranks frontier LLMs on agentic tool-use tasks using private, non-contaminated benchmarks across industry domains, scored on a pass^5 reliability metric, with the underlying RL Gyms and evaluation datasets available to license.

Toloka TrainPlatform

A self-serve service that lowers per-request inference cost through two tools - fine-tuning LoRA adapters on frozen Qwen3 base models to replace a frontier API on a narrow task, and prompt gisting that compresses long instruction prefixes into learned tokens.

Data service

Off-the-shelf DatasetsData service

Toloka's catalogue of ready-made training datasets sold outright — three named at the time of writing (Tau-bench Dataset Extension, University-level Math Reasoning, Multimodal Conversations) — as distinct from the custom data work its Platform sells.

Toloka Physical AIData service

Human-in-the-loop data programs -- demonstrations, annotation and evaluation -- for training robotics and physical AI systems.

Toloka PlatformData service

A self-serve platform where an AI agent turns a described data goal into a full human-annotation pipeline - RLHF and preference data, data collection, instruction tuning, model evaluation, synthetic-data validation and content-moderation QA - with LLM-based quality checks on the output.

No counterpart

GitLab sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Toloka yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Agent platform

GitLab Duo Agent PlatformAgent 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

GitLab Duo Code SuggestionsDeveloper tool

Code completion and generation in the IDE that predictively completes code blocks, writes function logic and generates tests inside GitLab-supported editors.
