Many projects include [templates](../description_templates.md#create-a-merge-request-template)
that you populate when you create a merge request. These templates help populate the description
of the merge request. They can help the team conform to standards, and help reviewers
and others understand the purpose and changes proposed in the merge request.
When you create a merge request, GitLab Duo Merge request template population
can generate a description for your merge request, based on the contents of the template.
GitLab Duo fills in the template and replaces the contents of the description.
To use GitLab Duo to generate a merge request description:
1.[Create a new merge request](creating_merge_requests.md) and go to the **Description** field.
1. Select **GitLab Duo** (**{tanuki-ai}**).
1. Select **Fill in merge request template**.
The updated description is applied. You can edit or revise the description before you finish creating your merge request.
