❄️ On the fourth day of Agents… Using Agents for Developer Workflows
Happy Friday! If you’re a developer, work with developers, or are just curious about what agentic workflows look like in the real world, this one's for you. Even if you’re not technical, the concepts in this demo are easy to follow, and developers will appreciate the details even more.
🧠 What You’ll Learn Today
- How agents support codebase understanding
- How planning + execution agents remove friction and boost productivity
- What “multi-agent” workflows look like in practice
🚀 Real World Example: Developer Onboarding in Minutes
In this 5 min video demo, a developer joins a brand-new team and uses GitLab Duo Agent Platform to:
- Understand an unfamiliar project
- Identify a good first issue to work on
- Generate working code
- Open a merge request to make an update to the project
- Run a security agent to understand the project more deeply
- Get automated feedback
This is what working with agents looks like in action.
Sit back, relax, and feel free to reply if you have questions or feedback.
