Sep 16, 2025Dennis van Rooijen

Summary
This post details the practical application of the GitLab Duo Agent Platform for DataOps, specifically automating the generation of dbt models. It outlines a workflow involving extracting table metadata from Snowflake, using the VS Code plugin for GitLab Duo, and providing a detailed prompt to generate dbt source and workspace models, including `sources.yml`, `schema.yml` with tests and documentation, and `dbt_project.yml` updates. It also includes a generated validation query for comparing row counts between raw and workspace layers. The contribution is the demonstration of an end-to-end automated dbt model generation process using AI.
