What can your AI employee do in GitLab?

Viktor connects to your GitLab account and completes work in it. He doesn't just answer questions about GitLab, he takes the actions on your behalf and delivers the finished result to your workspace.

Unlike workflow builders such as Zapier or Make, there is nothing to configure - no triggers to map, no workflows to maintain. You describe the outcome in plain English, and Viktor picks the right GitLab actions, chains them with the other 9,800+ tools he connects to, and asks for approval before anything sensitive runs.

About GitLab

GitLab is the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps Platform.

Use GitLab from Slack and Microsoft Teams

Message Viktor in a Slack channel, a Microsoft Teams chat or a direct message. He opens GitLab, does the work and posts the result in the same thread, so nobody has to switch tabs.

He can also run GitLab work on a schedule, like a weekly GitLab summary posted to your team's channel. Anything sensitive waits for your approval before it runs.

Viktor is not affiliated with or endorsed by GitLab.

    Approve Merge Request

    Approve a merge request as the authenticated user, or withdraw an earlier approval by setting Action to unapprove. Call Get Merge Request first to check the merge request is actually ready — its readiness rollup reports the pipeline status, conflicts and how many approvals are still required — and Get Merge Request Diffs to read the changes being approved. Two things commonly go wrong: GitLab refuses to let you approve your own merge request, and a project may require approval from a specific approval rule that the authenticated user does not satisfy; both surface as a 401. To approve as part of leaving review feedback in one step, use Create Merge Request Review with its Action set to approve instead. Optionally pass SHA to make the approval conditional on the merge request's head commit, so it fails rather than silently approving work that was pushed after you read the diff.

  • Other

    Create Branch

    Create a new branch in the repository.

  • Epic

    Create Epic

    Creates a new epic.

  • Issue

    Create issue

    Creates a new issue.

  • Merge Request

    Create Merge Request Comment

    Post a comment on a merge request. It works in three modes, chosen by which props you set: leave File Path and Discussion ID blank for a plain comment on the merge request as a whole; set File Path plus a line number to open an inline thread anchored to that line of the diff; or set Discussion ID to reply inside an existing thread. Use Get Merge Request Diffs first to get valid file paths and line numbers, and List Merge Request Discussions to get a Discussion ID to reply to. Line numbers follow GitLab's diff rules: for a line the merge request adds or leaves unchanged, pass New Line; for a line it removes, pass Old Line; for an unchanged context line, pass both. Getting that wrong is the usual cause of a rejected inline comment. To post several review comments at once, and optionally approve in the same step, use Create Merge Request Review instead.

  • Merge Request

    Create Merge Request Review

    Submit a whole review on a merge request in one step: any number of inline comments anchored to lines of the diff, an overall summary comment, and optionally an approval. This is the tool for \"review this MR\" — call Get Merge Request and Get Merge Request Diffs first to read the changes, then send the findings back here. GitLab has no single submit-review API, so this action posts each inline comment as its own thread and then approves if asked; if an individual comment is rejected (usually a line that is not part of the diff) the rest are still posted and the failures are returned in failed, so check that array rather than assuming everything landed. Line numbers follow GitLab's diff rules: newline for a line the merge request adds, oldline for a line it removes, both for an unchanged context line. There is no REST equivalent of GitLab's Request changes state — to block a merge request, leave the findings as comments and do not approve.

  • Merge Request

    Create Merge Request

    Open a new merge request from one branch into another. Use this for \"open an MR\", \"raise a merge request\", \"submit my branch for review\". Both branches must already exist in the project — use List Repo Branches to check, or Create Branch to make one. Reviewers and assignees are given as usernames and resolved to IDs automatically; a username that is not a member of the project is rejected rather than silently dropped. Set Draft to true for work that is not ready for review — GitLab expresses this by prefixing the title with Draft:, which this action does for you and which blocks merging until removed. After creating, use Get Merge Request to check its pipeline and merge readiness.

  • Issue

    Get Issue

    Gets a single issue from repository.

  • Merge Request

    Get Merge Request Commits

    List the commits contained in a merge request, newest first. Use this to understand how a change was built up — whether it is one clean commit or a long history to squash, who wrote each part, and what the commit messages claim. For the actual code changes call Get Merge Request Diffs instead; for merge readiness call Get Merge Request.
