AI is transforming how software gets built: code ships faster, prototypes get generated in minutes, and development cycles are shrinking. But speed without a safety net is just risk. In this webinar, Flagsmith co-founder and founding engineer Kyle Johnson walks through why feature flags are the missing piece in every AI-assisted development workflow.
What we cover:
• What feature flags are and why they’ve become a software development best practice
• How to decouple deployment from release — so pushing to production stops being a high-stakes event
• Testing in production safely with targeted rollouts and internal team segments
• Why AI-generated code increases the need for safety nets, not decreases it
• A live demo of the Flagsmith MCP server — automatically creating feature flags inside Claude before a single line of code is written
• Where to start if your team is new to feature flags or AI-assisted development
Key takeaway: AI gives you speed. Feature flags give you control. Used together, they let engineering teams ship at startup pace without putting production at risk.
