CopilotKit is a plug-and-play, fully customizable, open-source Copilot infrastructure, designed to significantly speed up the building of copilots. The core feature of this tool is its Copilot Portal, which serves as a programming bridge between your copilot and your application state, be it on client or cloud side.

CopilotKit is an open-source framework for building AI-powered copilot features directly into production applications enabling developers to add in-app AI agents, generative UI components, and human-in-the-loop workflows to any React or Next.js application.
Rather than building AI features from scratch with raw API calls, CopilotKit provides a structured frontend and backend stack that handles streaming, state synchronisation, tool rendering, and agent lifecycle management as first-class primitives.
The framework's generative UI capability is one of its most powerful features: AI agents can generate and update UI components dynamically in response to user requests not just returning text but rendering interactive interface elements, forms, and data visualisations in real time.
This brings AI beyond the chat window into the application itself, creating experiences where the interface adapts to what the user is trying to accomplish.
CopilotKit implements a synchronised state layer that both the AI agent and the UI components can read from and write to simultaneously allowing the agent to understand the current application state and take actions that directly modify it.
This bidirectional state awareness enables genuinely useful in-app copilots that don't just answer questions but perform actions: updating records, navigating the application, filling forms, and executing multi-step workflows on behalf of the user.
Human-in-the-loop functionality is built into the framework's agent execution model: agents can pause mid-workflow to request user confirmation, input, or edits before continuing.
This interruption capability is critical for production applications where autonomous agent actions carry business risk allowing automation to proceed at full speed for low-risk steps while requiring human approval for consequential decisions.
