Unblock agentic software delivery with governed code review

GitLab presents Code Review Flow in its Duo Agent Platform as an automated, policy-aware code review system designed to address review bottlenecks as AI agents increase software output. Operating directly within GitLab merge requests and as a CI/CD job on GitLab-hosted or customer-managed runners, it reviews changes using repository context, custom instructions, selected AI models, and existing pipelines, security findings, code-owner rules, approvals, and audit records. Organizations can enable automatic reviews across projects, groups, or instances, define shared coding and compliance guidance, and use follow-up reviews to validate fixes without repeating prior feedback. Human approval requirements remain in effect, while Recommend Reviewers Flow helps identify suitable reviewers based on expertise, workload, availability, and time zone. GitLab says the service costs $0.25 per review and estimates a 100x return on investment, while supporting GitLab.com, Dedicated, and Self-Managed deployments, including self-hosted models for regulated or air-gapped environments. Planned features include deeper analysis of complex changes, AI-controlled approval or change-request decisions, risk assessment, and local reviews through Duo CLI before merge requests are opened.
