Short answer

Can I toggle feature flags with my AI?

Yes. You can list your current flags and switch them between active and archived states using natural language. This lets you manage your rollout status without leaving your chat interface.

Flag management outcomes.

What you can do.

These are the specific results of your commands.

VIEW

See active flags

Your AI pulls a list of everything currently running. You get a clear view of what is live in your environment.

TOGGLE

Change flag status

The AI updates a flag to be active or archived. This changes how your code behaves immediately.

AUDIT

Review all flags

Get a full list of every flag in the system. This helps you find old or inactive flags quickly.

HUMAN

Manual overrides

You still handle complex logic or bulk changes in the DevCycle dashboard. The AI handles the quick, individual toggles.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat and the DevCycle API.

  1. Fetch current flags

    The AI looks up your existing flags to see what is available to change.

    list_feature_flags

  2. Identify active flags

    It filters the list to show only the flags currently in use.

    list_active_flags

  3. Update status

    The AI sends the command to change a flag's state.

    update_feature_flag_status

  4. Confirm change

    The AI verifies the update was successful and tells you the new state.

    list_active_flags

FAQ

Common questions

  • 01

    Can the AI delete a feature flag?

    No. The AI can only change a flag between active and archived states.

  • 02

    Can I change flag rules through the AI?

    No. The AI only manages the status of the flag, not the specific targeting rules or logic.

  • 03

    Does the AI need my DevCycle password?

    No. You connect via Vinkius, which keeps your login credentials encrypted and separate from the AI.

  • 04

    How do I see which flags are currently live?

    You can simply ask your AI to list all active flags.

  • 05

    Can the AI create new flags from scratch?
