Turn multi-step software delivery into agentic flows you can trust

What this post added

This post announces the general availability of Custom Flows and the integration of Foundational Flows within GitLab Duo Agentic Chat. Custom Flows allow users to define multi-step AI-powered workflows triggered by native GitLab events (mentions, assignments, pipelines, merge request lifecycle, work item changes, etc.) and run them in CI/CD pipelines. Foundational Flows can now be initiated from Agentic Chat, where user requests matching specialist work (e.g., implement a change, review a merge request, fix a failed pipeline) are recommended, approved, and executed. Enhancements to the Code Review Flow include exclusion rules for bot-authored or out-of-scope merge requests and custom review instructions to shape review criteria. The post also mentions a future Flow Creation Agent for plain-language flow descriptions.
