This feature request proposes enhancing this functionality by using AI to automatically generate comprehensive, pre-filled issue descriptions based on the discussion thread content.  **Current Experience**: The created issue has a generic title and minimal description Title: Follow-up from "Remove old AI usage models" Description: > The following discussion from !205516 should be addressed: > > - [ ] @bwill started a [discussion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/205516#note_2781703147): (+1 comment) > > > This change appears to have broken master. Fixing in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/206561. **Potential Experience**: If I ask Duo agenic chat to create an issue based on the thread, here is what it outputs: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/572556+ We should have the button do this out-of-the-box if the project can use Duo. ## Problem Currently, when users click "Create issue to resolve thread" on a merge request discussion: - Users must manually add context about the discussion, code changes, and requirements - Important details from the thread conversation may be lost or overlooked - This creates friction and reduces the likelihood of comprehensive issue documentation ## Proposed Solution Enhance the "Create issue to resolve thread" functionality to leverage AI (GitLab Duo) for generating intelligent, pre-filled issue descriptions that include: ### AI-Generated Content - **Context Summary**: Automatically extract and summarize the key points from the discussion thread - **Code Analysis**: Analyze referenced code changes and provide technical context - **Action Items**: Identify specific tasks or requirements mentioned in the discussion - **Priority Assessment**: Suggest priority level based on discussion tone and content - **Related Files**: List files mentioned or affected in the discussion Example: ### User Experience - Pre-filled issue form with AI-generated content that users can review and edit - Option to regenerate or modify the AI suggestions before creating the issue - Maintain the current quick-create workflow while adding intelligent defaults ## Benefits 1. **Improved Issue Quality**: Issues created from threads will have comprehensive, contextual descriptions 2. **Time Savings**: Reduces manual effort required to document thread context 3. **Better Tracking**: Ensures important discussion points are preserved in the issue 4. **Enhanced Collaboration**: Team members can better understand the issue context without reading the original thread 5. **Consistency**: Standardized issue format across thread-generated issues ## Implementation Considerations - Integrate with existing GitLab Duo AI capabilities - Ensure user privacy and data handling compliance - Provide fallback to current behavior if AI generation fails - Allow users to opt-out of AI generation if preferred - Consider rate limiting for AI generation requests ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] "Create issue to resolve thread" button triggers AI analysis of the discussion thread - [ ] AI generates a comprehensive issue description including context, action items, and technical details - [ ] Users can review, edit, and approve the AI-generated content before issue creation - [ ] Fallback mechanism exists for cases where AI generation is unavailable - [ ] Feature works across all discussion thread types (code comments, general discussions, etc.) - [ ] Performance impact is minimal and doesn't significantly slow down issue creation ## Related Features This enhancement aligns with GitLab's AI-first approach and complements existing GitLab Duo features like: - Code suggestions - Chat assistance - Issue description generation - Merge request summaries ## Labels ~"type::feature" ~"group::optimize" ~"section::dev" ~"devops::plan" ~"GitLab Duo" ~"AI/ML"
