Talking AI · Past the Productivity Ceiling: Rebuilding the Enterprise from First Principles · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

But the problem is context still really matters.

And how do you actually bring to bear all of the experience that an individual has when it comes to different deployment types, different operating systems, different versions of things, the problems that they've seen in the past?

Very rarely is all of that documented because that's part of what a

human brings to bear.

And as we think about AI and customer support, for example, it's where there's rich context, we're going to leverage AI.

But then there's areas where there isn't rich context that's documented and we're going to leverage the power of the person.

As you think about in a software development workflow, the same thing's actually really true.

So on one hand, you can have a code base, right?

And the AI is great at working through a code base.

But what about the failures when you tried to push that code?

What about the last security scan?

What about the last comments from your manager on the code review?

And all of those things stitched together actually create this more relevant and rich context that can ultimately make your gentic operations a lot better.

And so we see as people are leveraging, for example, our own knowledge graph, GitLab Orbit.

that you can consume less tokens, get more accurate output and oftentimes quicker output because of the ability to have this really rich knowledge graph of context as opposed to piecemealing together pieces of that.

Yeah, I think it's

I think it speaks a little bit to

the fear of just what's not known, right?

Yeah.

And so it it's a bit of there's so much code being generated, our velocities increased, and the traditional ways that we've managed that can't hold up.
