I want to build something like a MR Reviewer for my katalon code in Gitlab which should review the MR and provide comments/actions as soon as someone raises it in repo. Currently I am able to fetch data from Gitlab into my local katalon studioassist and push comments through the local agent. But I am thinking of automating this.
StudioAssist is currently an IDE-integrated feature with no headless mode or standalone API. You cannot invoke it directly from a GitLab CI pipeline the way you can with Katalon Runtime Engine (KRE) for test execution
to automate MR reviews, you would need to bypass StudioAssist and call an LLM API directly from your pipeline. You could write a GitLab CI job that fetches the MR diff via the GitLab API, sends it to your chosen LLM (OpenAI, etc.) with a review prompt, and posts comments back using the GitLab Discussions API. This is essentially what StudioAssist does under the hood locally.
if you want to keep your existing StudioAssist prompt logic, you could extract those prompts and replicate them in your CI script. Katalon has not announced any timeline for exposing StudioAssist as a CI-compatible service
No, there’s no official/native way to trigger StudioAssist Agent Mode from GitLab CI
This makes the current limitation much clearer.
