The Azure Cosmos DB extension for VS Code now has AI built in — and it changes everything about how you work with your database.
No more switching to the Azure Portal. No more memorizing query syntax. No more guessing why things are slow. Just type @cosmosdb in Copilot Chat and talk to your database like a colleague.
Here's what the Cosmos DB extension can do now:
• 🧠 Knows your schema — explores containers, properties, and nested objects instantly
• ✍️ Writes your queries — complex filters, aggregations, and partition-aware queries in seconds
• 🔍 Diagnoses performance — tells you WHY queries are slow and exactly how to fix them
• 💬 Fully conversational — ask follow-ups, refine results, iterate naturally
This is the database extension you didn't know you needed — until now.
