What can an AI teammate do with GitLab?

A GitLab AI teammate can list and search projects, issues, and merge requests, check pipeline and CI/CD status, read repository files, open new issues, and post comments on merge requests. Write actions require your approval.

How is GitLab different from GitHub for AI teammates?

Both are supported, but GitLab is a better fit if your team uses its built-in CI/CD, container registry, or self-hosted deployment. The AI teammate can read GitLab pipeline status and job logs directly, which has no equivalent in GitHub Actions without extra tooling.

Can my teammate access self-hosted GitLab instances?

Yes. When connecting GitLab, you can point the integration at your self-hosted instance URL instead of gitlab.com. Permissions follow your personal access token scope.

Will the teammate post comments or create issues without asking?

No. Creating issues, posting MR notes, and updating issue fields are write actions that always require your approval unless you explicitly configure auto-approval for a trusted workflow.
