🚀 Why CopilotKit is Going All-In on User-Interactive AI Agents

Today, we’re excited to share why CopilotKit is doubling down on user-interactive AI agents—copilots designed specifically to work alongside users rather than autonomously.

🔑 Interactive vs. Autonomous Agents

Enterprises adopting AI today typically encounter two kinds of agents:

  • Autonomous Agents: These agents perform single, tightly scoped tasks independently, returning results without ongoing user involvement.
  • User-Interactive Agents: These agents collaborate continuously with users, supporting complex tasks through ongoing interaction and feedback.

At CopilotKit, we're convinced the future belongs to user-interactive agents.

🎯 Why User-Interactive Agents?

đź’ˇ At last weeks Agent week from CrewAI, Mark Roy the lead solution architect at Amazon Bedrock said that User-Interactive agents are the seeing more adoption than autonomous agents across their platform.

User-interactive agents fundamentally enhance human productivity because:

  • Collaboration: They amplify human judgment rather than replace it.
  • Adaptability: They continuously adapt based on real-time user input.
  • Complexity Handling: They support tasks that require human insight alongside AI efficiency.

Our CEO, Atai, emphasizes that the real productivity gains happen when humans and AI collaborate continuously, not separately.

(Here’s a video of Atai speaking at Agent week in NYC!)

🛠️ Framework Flexibility

To support this vision, we've integrated leading interactive-agent frameworks:

  • LangGraph (stateful, multi-LLM workflows)
  • CrewAI (role-based, collaborative agents)

With upcoming integrations including Mastra, LlamaIndex, plus the flexibility to bring your own framework, CopilotKit offers unprecedented adaptability for building interactive agents tailored precisely to your team's workflow.

🚀 Shortening the Path to Impact

By investing deeply in interactive agents, we're ensuring CopilotKit remains the essential platform for deploying collaborative AI across industries—from software development and finance to insurance and beyond.

We believe every profession benefits most when humans stay in the loop, with AI enhancing rather than replacing human expertise.

AG-UI and A2UI Explained: How the Emerging Agentic Stack Fits TogetherThe agentic ecosystem is evolving fast — and with new standards appearing almost weekly, it’s easy to get lost in the terminology. Two names that often get mixed up are AG-UI and A2UI. They sound similar, but they actually serve very different purposes. Even better: they complement each other beautifully.CopilotKit has been working closely with Google on A2UI, and we’ll be shipping full support when the A2UI spec launches. But before that happens, let’s break down how these pieces fit into the broader agentic landscape.
Build a Frontend for your Microsoft Agent Framework Agents with AG-UI

Build a Frontend for your Microsoft Agent Framework Agents with AG-UIIn this guide, you will learn how to build a frontend for your Microsoft Agent Framework Agents using AG-UI Protocol and CopilotKit. Microsoft Agent Framework will power the AI agents backend, while CopilotKit powers the frontend, and then AG-UI creates a bridge that enables the frontend to communicate with the backend.
Microsoft Agent Framework is now AG-UI Compatible!
Uli Barkai and Nathan TarbertNovember 11, 2025
Microsoft Agent Framework is now AG-UI Compatible!We’re excited to announce that Microsoft’s Agent Framework is now fully compatible with the AG-UI protocol - the open standard powering frontend-agent communication across the ecosystem. This integration means you can now connect Microsoft’s powerful reasoning and orchestration layer directly to rich, real-time user interfaces - without custom socket code, polling loops, or one-off APIs.
