Short answer

How can I use AI to handle feature flag rollouts?

Your agent uses Flipt to inspect existing flags, spin up new variants, and adjust how traffic is distributed. You get a breakdown of how these actions work.

Rollout outcomes

Where your rollouts land.

What happens when your agent takes action.

INSPECT

Flag visibility

The agent pulls your current flag configurations. You get a clear view of what is active and what is dormant.

MODIFY

New variants

The agent creates specific variations for testing. This lets you test new logic without touching your codebase.

CONTROL

Traffic shifts

The agent reconfigures how users hit specific flags. You can scale rollouts up or down through simple chat commands.

REVIEW

Human oversight

The agent prepares the changes, but you decide when to push them to production. You stay in the loop for every critical shift.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The agent acts as the interface between your natural language intent and the Flipt API.

  1. Audit current state

    The agent checks your environment to see which flags are currently available for modification.

    list_flags

  2. Define new logic

    When you want to test a new path, the agent sets up a new version of an existing flag.

    create_variant

  3. Adjust traffic

    The agent changes the percentage of users seeing a specific variant to control the rollout speed.

    create_distribution

  4. Verify configuration

    The agent reviews the updated flag settings to ensure the distribution matches your request.

FAQ

How the rollout management behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete a feature flag?

    No. The agent can only list, create variants, and create distributions. Deleting flags must be done by you manually.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically roll out changes to production?

    No. The agent performs the technical configuration in Flipt, but you are responsible for the decision to deploy those changes.

  • 03

    Can I use this to create entirely new flags?

    No. The current tools allow for listing flags, creating variants, and managing distributions, but not the creation of top-level flags.

  • 04

    How does the agent know which flags to change?

    The agent uses the list tool to see what is available, then applies your specific instructions to the correct flag.

  • 05

    Can the AI see my user data?

    No. The agent only interacts with the flag configurations and distribution rules within Flipt.
