GitGuardian Assistant

info

This feature is only available for workspaces with a Business plan.

Alpha

The GitGuardian Assistant is currently in private alpha. Features and behavior may change as we iterate based on user feedback.

Interested in trying the assistant? Contact us at support@gitguardian.com or reach out to your CSM or account manager to request access.

The GitGuardian Assistant helps you investigate, understand, and remediate secret incidents directly from the internal monitoring dashboard. It works alongside you in a conversational interface: it can execute actions on your behalf (such as assigning incidents or updating tags), but only after you explicitly approve them.

note

We use our industry leading detection engine to detect and redact secrets before we send data to the AI model. For more details, see Data security and privacy.

Key capabilities

• Incident investigation: Explain threat patterns, analyze scope and impact, and identify related incidents.
• Remediation planning: Get tailored remediation steps and prioritization guidance grounded in GitGuardian documentation and security best practices.
• Incident management: Assign incidents, manage tags, update incident details, and explore monitored sources — all through natural language. The assistant proposes each action and waits for your confirmation before executing.

How it works

The assistant is available from the incident detail page. When you ask a question or make a request, it:

1. Understands your intent using the context of the incident you are viewing and your conversation history.
2. Gathers information by querying your incident data, workspace details, or GitGuardian documentation as needed.
3. Responds or proposes an action — for read-only queries it answers directly; for write actions (assigning, tagging, updating) it presents the proposed change and waits for your approval.

The assistant does not operate autonomously or run tasks in the background. Every interaction is initiated by you and requires your presence in the conversation.

Getting started

1. Navigate to an incident detail page in the internal monitoring dashboard
2. Open the assistant interface in the sidebar
3. Type your question or request in natural language
4. Review the response and approve any proposed actions

Providing feedback

Your feedback is especially valuable during the private alpha. After each response, you can rate it, add comments, or report issues. This feedback directly shapes how we improve the assistant.

Limitations

• Internal monitoring only: The assistant is currently available only in the internal monitoring product.
• Human oversight required: All write actions require your explicit approval. Critical security decisions should always be reviewed by your team.
• Private alpha: As a private alpha feature, you may encounter rough edges. Your feedback helps us improve.
