The LaunchDarkly Copilot Extension, available under @launchdarkly-app in the GitHub Marketplace, is an integrated tool specifically designed to answer documentation questions for developers practicing feature management with LaunchDarkly. Developers can leverage the LaunchDarkly Copilot Extension to ask Copilot questions about LaunchDarkly documentation, and get the answers needed to resolve development challenges swiftly, without losing focus on their current tasks.

For example, you can ask Copilot questions like “How do I create a boolean flag”, and Copilot will find the answers and respond with a helpful answer pulled directly from our best practices and documentation corpus.
