How to run your own always-on AI coworker app from a template with OpenDots

Clone OpenDots, start the dev server, connect Intelligence and a model, and start chatting with a Dot.

Short answer: git clone https://github.com/CopilotKit/OpenDots.git, then cd OpenDots and npm ci; then run cp .env.example .env and npm run dev, then open http://127.0.0.1:5173; For hosted Intelligence run npx copilotkit@latest login and npx copilotkit@latest project select. All steps.

Credentials. The .env file holds your model key and Intelligence project key; keep it out of Git.

Who it is forA developer who wants a working base for an agent product with chat, pages and approvals.

The problemBuilding persistent agents with computers, chat and approvals from zero takes months.

The outcomeOpenDots running at 127.0.0.1:5173 with Spaces, pages and Dots you can chat with.

What you need first

  • Node.js 24 and npm
  • An OpenAI-compatible model key
  • CopilotKit Intelligence (hosted, local Docker evaluation, or licensed self-hosted)

Steps

  1. git clone https://github.com/CopilotKit/OpenDots.git, then cd OpenDots and npm ci
  2. Run cp .env.example .env and npm run dev, then open http://127.0.0.1:5173
  3. For hosted Intelligence run npx copilotkit@latest login and npx copilotkit@latest project select
  4. Add OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_MODEL to .env and restart; do not run copilotkit onboard in this folder

Prompt for your agent

Set up CopilotKit/OpenDots locally with the local Docker Intelligence evaluation, add my model key from the environment, create one Dot for <role>, and confirm a chat works end to end.

Caveat. With hosted Intelligence, conversation messages and tool calls are stored in CopilotKit's cloud.
