Inspiration
As developers, we spend hours writing code, but the real bottleneck happens after code generation—managing security scans, code reviews, compliance, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud deployments. We wanted to eliminate human friction using the power of autonomous AI agents.
What it does
TranscendOps AI is a fully autonomous Hands-off GitLab Duo agent designed for the Life After Code Hackathon. It manages the complete DevSecOps lifecycle without human intervention:
- Automatically reads issues, plans, and writes code updates.
- Runs verification, package, security scans, and auto-fixes vulnerabilities.
- Seamlessly deploys the application directly to Google Cloud.
How we built it
- GitLab Duo Agent Platform: Used for orchestration, MCP servers, and building workflow flows.
- GitLab CI/CD: For automated pipelines and running 9 DevSecOps stages.
- Google Cloud: Used for hosting and production-ready cloud deployment.
- MIT License: Ensuring open-source compatibility under Path A.
Challenges we ran into
Configuring a completely hands-off autonomy loop without human-in-the-middle approvals required fine-tuning the agent prompts and error-handling mechanisms inside the GitLab pipeline so it could auto-correct failed security scans seamlessly.
What we learned
We mastered advanced GitLab Duo agent configurations, building autonomous CI/CD loops, and integrating robust cloud deployment automation.
