Making AI Agents Work in Regulated Environments

This hands-on GitLab workshop provides a practical insight into what AI agents can actually do and how to use them safely in regulated environments. 

Why attend

AI agents are moving fast, but in regulated industries, control, auditability, and compliance come first.

This session answers the questions that matter:

  • What can AI agents actually do in GitLab today?

  • How do you stay in control when AI acts in your pipelines?

  • Where should AI operate, and where shouldn’t it?

  • What does a production-ready, governed workflow look like?

What to expect

A S-AIDAP workshop showing how the GitLab Duo Agent Platform fits into real workflows.

You’ll work through:

  • Planning and issue creation

  • AI-generated merge requests

  • Pipeline troubleshooting

  • Security remediation

All within a secure, guided environment,  so you can run the scenario yourself and see where AI adds value in day-to-day workflows.

Welcome and introduction - Kalle Sirkesalo, Eficode

Eficode sets the stage: why AI adoption differs in regulated industries, what that means in practice, and how this workshop fits into driving responsible, real-world AI delivery.

Scene Setting: The GitLab AI Landscape, Ben Koep, GitLab

GitLab cuts through the noise with a clear, up-to-date view of its AI capabilities from GitLab Duo to the Agent Platform.

You’ll see what’s real today, what’s coming next, and how it’s being used in compliance-driven environments worldwide.

No demos. Just straight context so everyone starts the workshop aligned and informed.

Building AI Agents workshop, Ben Koep and Kalle Sirkesalo

In the S-AIDAP Workshop, you’ll learn how the Duo Agent Platform actually fits into real GitLab workflows.

  • From planning and issue creation through AI‑generated MRs

  • Pipeline troubleshooting and security remediation

  • You’ll get hands‑on with a secure workshop environment

So you can confidently run the scenario yourself, experience where agentic AI adds value, and how to leverage it in day-to-day workflows.

Coffee break

Lessons learned group discussion

Each group shares what they built, what worked, and where things got difficult including practical lessons from using GitLab Duo, process challenges, and common pain points.

You’ll explore how Duo could realistically fit into your own environment, what needs to change operationally, and where the boundaries are
