How to use Copilot Kit: what you can do with it

What is Copilot Kit? CopilotKit is an SDK for building agent-native applications: chat UI, generative UI, shared state between agent and UI, and human-in-the-loop workflows. It works with React, Angular, Vue and React Native, and in Slack and Microsoft Teams. CopilotKit is the company behind the AG-UI Protocol. A CLI can onboard an existing app, scaffold a new one or install agent skills.

How do I use it? Open your coding agent at the root of your project; then give it the README prompt that runs npx --yes copilotkit@latest onboard start; follow the onboarding instructions it prints. Full steps below.

    Built a Tic-Tac-Toe assistant and a 2D RPG with a LangGraph NPC using CopilotKit

    Two engineers explored static, declarative and open-ended generative UI patterns and built two demos with CopilotKit: a Tic-Tac-Toe assistant and a 2D role playing game whose NPC is a LangGraph agent, using readables for game state and actions for moves.

    Built a minimal CopilotKit app on Vite with a self-hosted runtime and a LangGraph agent on FastAPI

    The author published a minimal working stack: CopilotKit React without Next.js on Vite, a self-hosted CopilotKit runtime on plain Node.js HTTP, and a LangGraph agent served with FastAPI, with a checklist of the AG-UI features working such as agentic chat and frontend tool execution.

  2. Open CopilotKit/CopilotKit on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Open your coding agent at the root of your project
  4. Give it the README prompt that runs npx --yes copilotkit@latest onboard start
  5. Follow the onboarding instructions it prints
  6. Test the chat UI and one backend tool that renders UI in the client

These steps come from our top use case, Add an agent with chat and generative UI to your existing app, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
