AI Context Taskforce
Vision
The AI Context Framework Task Force aims to create a robust and scalable system for storing, managing, and utilizing additional context across all AI features within GitLab. We envision a framework that enhances the intelligence and effectiveness of our AI-powered tools by leveraging project-specific information, ultimately leading to more accurate and tailored AI responses for our users.
Mission
Our mission is to develop a comprehensive context framework that will:
- Standardize the storage and retrieval of contextual information
- Improve the quality and relevance of AI-generated outputs across GitLab features
- Provide transparency and control to users regarding the context used in AI interactions
- Enable easy integration of new context sources as GitLab evolves

Core Responsibilities
- Design and implement a standardized architecture for storing and retrieving additional context, collaborating with the Global Search team to leverage their ongoing work with storing embeddings
- Define and document available context types and their appropriate use cases
- Establish a process for contributing new context sources to the framework
- Integrate the context framework with existing AI features (Chat, Code Suggestions, Workflow)
- Develop user-facing controls and transparency features for context management
- Collaborate with other teams to ensure the framework meets diverse AI feature needs
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Adoption rate of the context framework across AI features
- Improvement in AI response quality (measured through user feedback and automated metrics)
