You can add a chat participant that users can talk to directly with "@" in the chat panel, or your extension can just make requests to the language model to drive whatever other features you want. And with the free tier, this is accessible to all of your users.

It's pretty fresh, but using this library lets you turn a couple hundred lines of code into just a handful, and all the chat participant features just light up "for free"! WIP

So I just published this library to help you build chat extensions: github.com/microsoft/vs...
