Fresh repo activity plus visible builder pull. This is the kind of tool people test before it turns obvious.

This wants more setup and more teardown. Run it only if the upside is clear.

Test This In Your Stack

One command inClean rollbackLow commitment
shieldSandboxedInstalls to ~/.claude — isolated from your projects. One command to remove.

Fastest way to find out if CopilotKit belongs in your setup.

Copy the install command, run a real test, and back it out cleanly if it slows you down.

Try now
git clone https://github.com/CopilotKit/CopilotKit ~/.claude/agents/copilotkit

Run this first. You will know quickly if the workflow earns a permanent slot.

Back out
rm -rf ~/.claude/agents/copilotkit

No messy cleanup loop. If it misses, remove it and keep moving.

What is CopilotKit

CopilotKit is a best-in-class SDK for building full-stack agentic applications, Generative UI, and chat applications.

We are the company behind the AG-UI Protocol, adopted by Google, LangChain, AWS, Microsoft, Mastra, PydanticAI, and more!

Features:

  • Chat UI – A React-based chat interface that supports message streaming, tool calls, and agent responses.
  • Backend Tool Rendering – Enables agents to call backend tools that return UI components rendered directly in the client.
  • Generative UI – Allows agents to generate and update UI components dynamically at runtime based on user intent and agent state.
  • Shared State – A synchronized state layer that both agents and UI components can read from and write to in real time.
  • Human-in-the-Loop – Lets agents pause execution to request user input, confirmation, or edits before continuing.

Quick Start

New projects:

npx copilotkit@latest create -f <framework>

Existing projects:

npx copilotkit@latest init
cpk-cli.mp4

What this gives you:

  • CopilotKit installed – Core packages are fully set up in your app
  • Provider configured – Context, state, and hooks ready to use
  • Agent <> UI connected – Agents can stream actions and render UI immediately
  • Deployment-ready – Your app is ready to deploy

How it works:

CopilotKit connects your UI, agents, and tools into a single interaction loop.

CopilotKit Diagram — Motion x2 6 sec version

This enables:

  • Agents that ask users for input
  • Tools that render UI
  • Stateful workflows across steps and sessions

⭐️ useAgent Hook

The useAgent hook is a proper superset of useCoAgent and sits directly on AG-UI, giving more control over the agent connection.

// Programmatically access and control your agents
const { agent } = useAgent({ agentId: "my_agent" });

// Render and update your agent's state
return <div>
  <h1>{agent.state.city}</h1>
  <button onClick={() => agent.setState({ city: "NYC" })}>
    Set City
  </button>
</div>

Generative UI

Generative UI is a core CopilotKit pattern that allows agents to dynamically render UI as part of their workflow.
