About GitLab’s Code Suggestions
GitLab Code Suggestions is an AI-powered feature of the GitLab DevSecOps platform that accelerates software delivery by providing predictive code completion, function logic generation, unit test creation, and suggestions for common patterns like regex—directly in your IDE. Supporting 14+ languages (including Python, JavaScript, Java, and Rust) and integrating with GitLab Web IDE, VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, and NeoVim, it boosts productivity without context switching. Built with a privacy-first approach that does not use private, non‑public customer code for training and available for both GitLab.com and self-managed instances via a secure connection, Code Suggestions is part of the GitLab Duo portfolio designed to keep developers in flow.
