What it does
CopilotKit gives app builders components for putting an AI agent in front of users: a chat window, screens the AI can create on the fly, and steps where the AI pauses to ask a person to confirm.
The same agent can appear in a website, a mobile app, Slack or Microsoft Teams. Its makers also created AG-UI, an open standard for how agents talk to app screens.
