Using Cortex AI Assistant to Clean Flags

Every team ships feature flags. Nobody owns the cleanup.

The result is predictable: ownership gaps, environmental drift, complex targeting nobody remembers writing.

In this Feature Friday, Cortex VP of Product Kara Gillis walks through how she triaged nearly 100 of our own LaunchDarkly flags using the Cortex AI Assistant in Slack.

The Assistant queried our internal Feature Flag Scorecard and returned:

  • Good candidates for removal
  • Flags that need review (still rolling out, no owner, complex targeting)
  • Follow-up categorization that turned the review pile into something prioritizable

Scorecards set the standard. The AI Assistant brings it to where the work happens.
