Flag management outcomes.

Control your rollouts.

Your AI handles the technical updates so you can stay in your flow.

READ

Instant flag visibility

The AI pulls current flag statuses and configurations. You get a clear view of what is active without clicking through the PostHog UI.

WRITE

Direct configuration changes

Your agent updates existing flags or creates new ones. You can change rollout rules or toggle features via simple text commands.

CLEAN

Flag cleanup

Remove old or deprecated flags through chat. The AI executes the deletion to keep your PostHog environment tidy.

HUMAN

Strategic oversight

The AI performs the specific tool actions, but you decide which flags to toggle and when to trigger a rollout.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

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

  1. Audit current flags

    The AI scans your PostHog project to see which flags exist and what their current settings are.

    list_feature_flagsget_feature_flag

  2. Modify flag settings

    You tell the AI to change a specific flag, and it applies those changes to your environment immediately.

    update_feature_flag

  3. Deploy new flags

    When you're ready to test something new, the AI sets up the flag structure for you.

    create_feature_flag

  4. Remove old flags

    To prevent technical debt, the AI wipes out flags that are no longer needed in your project.

FAQ

How the PostHog Connector behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my PostHog project settings?

    No. The AI only has access to feature flag operations. It cannot modify your overall project settings or user properties.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically roll out features?

    No. The AI only executes the specific update or creation commands you give it. You remain in control of the rollout strategy.

  • 03

    Can I see the flag status before I change it?

    Yes. You can use the AI to fetch the current state of any flag before you decide to update it.

  • 04

    What happens if I give the AI a flag name that doesn't exist?

    The AI will report that it cannot find the flag, as it can only act on flags currently present in your PostHog project.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete flags without my permission?

    No. The AI only deletes a flag when you explicitly instruct it to do so in your chat.
