Thanks for visiting this category direction page on GitLab Duo Chat. This page belongs to the Duo Chat group of the AI-powered stage and is maintained by Torsten Linz (email).
This direction page is a work in progress, and everyone can contribute to our vision, architecture, and designs by commenting on the epic for the GitLab Chat Bot and its sub-epics and issues.
