GitLab Duo, Agentic AI, and the SDLC in 2025 (with Emilio Salvador)


GitLab Duo, Agentic AI, and the SDLC in 2025 (with Emilio Salvador)


Emilio Salvador, VP of DevRel & Strategy at GitLab, joins RedMonk's Rachel Stephens to discuss current trends around agentic AI: how do agents differ from code assistants; how can AI come into play in the larger software development lifecycle (beyond writing code); where is the “human in the loop” in all of this. Emilo and Rachel also recap some important announcements from GitLab in 2024--including the GitLab Duo Enterprise and AWS Q announced at re:Invent 2024--and discuss what we might expect to see from GitLab in 2024.
