We’re excited to announce the new AI capabilities for Pulumi CLI powered by Pulumi Copilot that translate complex infrastructure changes into clear, human-readable explanations and help resolve deployment errors with actionable guidance. Enable these preview features with the --copilot flag.
When asked about his research process, Anthony Bourdain would describe how he’d blend his formal culinary training with deep dives into local food culture - from market stalls to family recipes. Modern AI code generation follows a similar path: it can’t just rely on what it knows - it must tap into continuously evolving, domain-specific knowledge bases. Just as Bourdain would combine his classical French training with techniques learned from local kitchens, AI code generators blend their built-in knowledge with retrieved code snippets and type definitions to generate code that accurately represents the user’s intent.
We built Pulumi Copilot to automate a broad spectrum of cloud management activities using the power of LLMs. Since its initial release earlier this year, hundreds of customers have used Pulumi Copilot to understand and manage cloud infrastructure more effectively and securely, and it is only getting better by the day.
Today, we’re excited to announce the availability of the Pulumi Copilot REST API. This new API exposes the full power of Pulumi Copilot, enabling you to integrate infrastructure AI into your own tools, applications, and platforms. While currently in preview, we are eager to get your feedback to ensure it works for anything you can dream up.
Building AI-powered developer tools comes with unique challenges, and now that we’ve launched our REST API, we want to share some lessons we’ve learned building Pulumi Copilot, an AI assistant for cloud infrastructure.
One of the big challenges was determining what ‘working’ really meant. So when a message landed in our feedback channel after months of rigorous testing - ‘Your tool doesn’t know anything!’ - it caused some mild panic. We’d just made some changes, so we braced for the worst. But our evals were still looking strong, so what was going on?
AI is transforming how users interact with every category of technology today, and cloud infrastructure is no exception. Last year we launched Pulumi AI to combine generative AI with Pulumi’s knowledge of cloud infrastructure, helping users solve complex cloud development problems using Infrastructure-as-Code. Pulumi AI has seen rapid adoption and engagement, with tens of thousands of users leveraging Pulumi AI over the last year.
Today, we’re excited to introduce Pulumi Copilot, a huge leap forward in applying AI to cloud infrastructure management. Pulumi Copilot is a new conversational chat interface integrated throughout Pulumi Cloud, enabling Pulumi Cloud users to quickly accomplish a variety of cloud infrastructure management tasks by leveraging the power of large language models plus the rich capabilities of Pulumi Cloud.
