## 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!

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/de5bcc17-1b51-4092-9a85-42971ecc1f4c

**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:

```bash
npx copilotkit@latest create -f <framework>
```

### Existing projects:

```bash
npx copilotkit@latest init
```

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7372b27b-8def-40fb-a11d-1f6585f556ad

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

[Complete getting started guide →](https://docs.copilotkit.ai/langgraph/quickstart)

## How it works:

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

![CopilotKit Diagram — Motion x2 6 sec version](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6f175d86-bd22-4c26-a13a-6013654ed542)

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.

```ts
// 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>
```

Check out the [useAgent docs](https://go.copilotkit.ai/useagent-docs) to learn more.

## Generative UI

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