CopilotKit
CopilotKit is an open-source framework that connects an application to AI agents with chat and generative UI.
CopilotKit is an open-source framework that connects your app to AI agents. It enables you to add chat, interactive UI, and human approvals with your choice of any agent backend. The platform provides AG-UI streams to persist and resume rich conversations with generative UI, messages, tool activity, and app state. You can also import existing thread history so users can pick up where they left off. Automatic learning turns patterns from real agent conversations into skills you can review and publish.
