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."

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:
