Example questions

Ask Cody things like

Which merge requests have been waiting on review for more than 2 days?

Which GitLab pipelines failed today, and what looks related across them?

Summarise what changed in this project before the deploy broke.

Which issues tagged regression or incident need attention this week?

Use cases

What Cody does with GitLab

Merge request review and handoff copilot

Use an AI assistant with GitLab to summarise merge requests, show which approvals or discussions are still blocking progress, highlight likely blast radius, and help the team move review queues faster.

Pipeline failure and release-readiness assistant

Ask Cody which GitLab pipelines are failing, what changed before they broke, whether failures look related across projects, and whether a release is actually blocked or ready to move.

Issue, incident, and project-context assistant

Use Cody to connect GitLab issues, project activity, repository changes, and recent merge requests so engineering leads get one useful answer in Slack instead of piecing context together by hand.

Track Cody's progress in taskboards that it creates for GitLab!

Drag agents onto the canvas

Open Cody's visual canvas and drag pre-built agent blocks into your workspace. Choose a GitLab agent, a summariser, a notifier, or combine several. Each block is a self-contained AI worker that handles a specific job, so your assistant only does exactly what you need.

Set up your agent's skills

Give each agent the skills it needs. Connect your GitLab account, define what the agent should look for, and tune its behaviour with plain-English instructions, no code and no YAML. Cody handles the prompting and API calls for you.

About the tool

About GitLab

GitLab is where a lot of engineering context already lives: merge requests, pipeline failures, issues, releases, and project discussions. That makes it a strong fit for an AI assistant that helps teams answer delivery questions, inspect what broke, and move work forward from Slack instead of bouncing between project views and CI logs.

Common
questions

What can Cody actually do with GitLab?

Cody can answer questions across your GitLab projects, summarise merge requests and issues, surface review bottlenecks, explain what changed before a pipeline failed, and draft release or status updates, all from Slack.

Can Cody help with merge requests and review queues?

Yes. Cody can summarise a merge request, show what is still blocking approval, highlight the risky parts of the diff, and help the team see which MRs are waiting on review or handoff.

Can Cody inspect failing GitLab pipelines and release blockers?

Yes. Cody can review pipeline runs, highlight which jobs are failing, connect failures to recent merge requests or commits, and summarise whether a release looks blocked or ready to move.

Can Cody work across GitLab issues, projects, and repo context?

Yes. Cody can pull together issue activity, project-level context, merge requests, and repository changes so you get one useful answer instead of hunting across boards, code, and CI logs.

Does Cody replace GitLab or our existing engineering workflow?

No. GitLab stays the source of truth. Cody sits on top of it as a faster interface for answering questions, drafting updates, and helping the team act on GitLab context without constant tab switching.
