# GitLab Duo > AI solution that supports developers throughout the entire software development lifecycle, from planning and coding to securing and deploying. GitLab Duo is a comprehensive AI solution integrated directly into the GitLab DevOps platform, designed to enhance every stage of the software development lifecycle. Unlike standalone AI tools, GitLab Duo works natively within GitLab's existing workflows, providing contextual AI assistance throughout planning, coding, testing, security, and deployment processes. This deep integration ensures that teams can leverage advanced AI capabilities without disrupting their established development practices or requiring additional tools. What sets GitLab Duo apart is its holistic approach to AI-enhanced software development coupled with strong ethical principles and transparency. The platform allows organizations to maintain full control over which users, projects, and groups can access its AI capabilities, while ensuring that proprietary code and data remain protected and are not used to train AI models. GitLab Duo intelligently applies different specialized AI models for specific use cases across the development workflow, from code understanding to security vulnerability remediation. The platform''s AI Transparency Center provides detailed insight into how AI features are implemented, allowing organizations to adopt AI with confidence. GitLab Duo delivers concrete improvements to development workflows, including reducing troubleshooting time for CI/CD failures, streamlining vulnerability remediation, and providing real-time metrics that quantify the return on investment in AI-assisted development. ## Features - End-to-end AI assistance across the development lifecycle - AI-powered code suggestions and explanations - Root cause analysis for CI/CD job failures - Security vulnerability remediation with auto-generated fixes - AI transparency and ethics controls - Proprietary code and data protection - Custom AI feature access controls - ROI tracking for AI effectiveness ## Integrations GitLab SCM, GitLab CI/CD, GitLab Issue Tracking, GitLab Security Scanner, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Docker, Various cloud platforms ## Platforms WEB ## Pricing Subscription-based ## Version 2.0.0 ## Links - Website: https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-duo - Documentation: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/gitlab_duo - Repository: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/gitlab-duo
