Freddy AI Copilot for Developers is an AI-powered development companion available as an extension in Visual Studio Code. It supports the development of apps that extend the capabilities of Freshworks products by providing intelligent coding assistance throughout the development lifecycle.
Freddy AI Copilot for Developers converts natural-language descriptions into functional code to accelerate development. It also helps improve code quality and security, reduce migration risk during platform upgrades, and save time by automating routine development tasks.
Previously, creating apps required writing code and running CLI commands to build and publish apps. You can continue to use the SDK and CLI workflow. Alternatively, you can use Freddy AI Copilot for Developers to perform the same tasks using natural-language prompts and guided actions within Visual Studio Code.
To get started, install the Freshworks Developer Kit (FDK), install and configure the extension, and begin using prompts to generate, refine, and publish apps from your development environment.
