## About {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions %}
{% data reusables.copilot.copilot-extensions.copilot-extensions-intro %}
> [!NOTE] {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions %} are not the same as the {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} extension, which you install in an external application to access {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} within that application. For more information on the {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} extension, see "[AUTOTITLE](/copilot/using-github-copilot/getting-started-with-github-copilot)."
After you install a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extension_short %} from {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}, you can interact with that extension in a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} conversation, asking questions and authorizing actions that combine the capabilities of the external tool and {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. For example, if you install the Sentry extension for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %}, you can use the extension to get information about Sentry issues, then create and assign related tracking issues on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions_short %} provide several benefits, including:
- Interaction with external tools using natural language
- Reduced context switching
- Customization of your {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} experience for your developer flow
**{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions_short %} are included in all {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} subscriptions**, and can be used with:
{% data reusables.copilot.copilot-extensions.compatible-chat-interfaces %}
## Next steps
If you have a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_individuals_short %} subscription, to get started with {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions_short %}, see "[AUTOTITLE](/copilot/github-copilot-chat/github-copilot-extensions/installing-github-copilot-extensions-for-your-personal-account)."
If you are an organization owner or enterprise administrator with a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_business_short %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_enterprise_short %} subscription, you should set a policy for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extension_short %} usage in your enterprise or organization. See "[AUTOTITLE](/copilot/github-copilot-chat/github-copilot-extensions/managing-github-copilot-extensions)."
If you are a developer with {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} access through a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_business_short %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_enterprise_short %} subscription, to get started with {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions_short %}, see "[AUTOTITLE](/copilot/github-copilot-chat/github-copilot-extensions/using-github-copilot-extensions)."
