Join CopilotKit at Google Cloud Next 2026

We’ll be at Google Cloud Next 2026 in Las Vegas!

Google Cloud Next is the biggest cloud event of the year, and CopilotKit is showing up in a big way. CEO Atai Barkai has been invited to the stage in an official session with Google Cloud, we're co-presenting one of the best sideline events of the week, and our team will be on the ground meeting with developers and companies building the next generation of AI-native applications.

TL;DR

  1. Reserve a seat for Atai's speaking session with Google Cloud
  2. Save your spot at Redis Happy Hour
  3. Schedule a time with CopilotKit at the event

Here's everything you need to know....

Atai Barkai Speaking Session at Google Cloud Next

CopilotKit co-founder and CEO Atai Barkai will be speaking at an official Google Cloud Next session alongside Alan Blount from the Google Cloud team.

If you've been following the evolution of agentic UIs, agent protocols, and how AI agents actually show up inside the applications people use every day, this is the session to attend. Atai and Alan will be diving into how CopilotKit and Google Cloud are thinking about the future of frontend AI infrastructure, and what it looks like when agents stop living in chat windows and start becoming first-class participants in your application.

When: Wednesday, April 23 | 1:15 PM - 2:00 PM PDT

Where: Mandalay Bay Convention Center

Session room and additional details will be available in the GCN session library closer to the event. Add it to your calendar now so you don't miss it.

Double Stack: Happy Hour with Redis

The evening before the conference officially kicks off, CopilotKit is co-presenting Redis' welcome party, "Double Stack," at the F1 Grand Prix Plaza in Las Vegas.

This isn't your typical conference happy hour. Redis is going all out: head-to-head F1 racing simulators, go-karting on the actual Las Vegas F1 circuit, drinks and elevated bites in the Turn 1 Lounge (a Paddock Club-style setting with views of the track), and prizes for the top racers.

It's an incredible way to kick off the week, meet other builders, and connect with the CopilotKit and Redis teams in a relaxed setting before the conference floor opens.

When: Tuesday, April 22 | 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM PDT

Where: F1 Grand Prix Plaza, Turn 1 Lounge — 4400 Koval Ln, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Space is limited.

What We're Working On

For those less familiar with CopilotKit: we're an open-source platform for building AI agents that live inside your application's UI. (Check out our GitHub - 30k stars)

We are becoming THE frontend stack for Agents & Generative UI. Instead of leaving agents trapped behind a text-only chat window or running in the background, CopilotKit gives developers the tools to build agents that can read application context, take actions in the frontend, render generative UI, and collaborate with users in real time.

__wf_reserved_inherit

We've been working closely with Google Cloud on the AG-UI (Agent-User Interaction) protocol and A2UI, and our recent integrations with Google ADK give developers a clean path from building an agent to shipping it inside a real product.

If you're exploring any of the following, we should talk:

  • Generative UI and agentic frontend experiences
  • Bringing AI agents into production inside existing products
  • The AG-UI protocol and how it connects agent frameworks to user-facing applications
  • CopilotKit's open-source SDK

Meet the CopilotKit Team

We'll be at Google Cloud Next all week and we want to connect with the people building in this space.

Whether you're a developer exploring how to add AI copilot features to your product, an engineering leader evaluating agent infrastructure, or just curious about what's possible with frontend agents and generative UI, we'd love to meet you!

Build Generative UI Agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore with AG-UI and CopilotKit
Anmol Baranwal and Nathan TarbertJune 30, 2026
Build Generative UI Agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore with AG-UI and CopilotKitAmazon Bedrock AgentCore now runs AG-UI agents natively, so auth, scaling, and session isolation come managed. We build one agent that renders charts inline, syncs a todo canvas both ways, and pauses for human input. Pick Strands or LangGraph at deploy time, and the same frontend runs against either.
Switching to Fable 5: The Tuesday That Cost $22,000

Switching to Fable 5: The Tuesday That Cost $22,000CopilotKit swapped their coding agents to a new model (fable-5) on a Tuesday, and by Wednesday had run up a ~$22,000 Anthropic bill. No bug or runaway script caused it — five engineers doing normal work triggered it, because the new model interpreted their English-prose behavioral rules ("keep sub-agents small," "converge to zero") far more loosely than older models did. The result was four simultaneous drift modes: bloated sub-agents, runaway review loops, exploding fanout, and oversized single turns. What kept it from being far worse was their "skills" system — small, named instruction packs that agents auto-load to encode team conventions. Their instrumentation caught the runaway in 12 hours instead of 12 days, isolated worktrees contained the blast radius, and the fix lived at the rules layer (swapping vague adjectives for hard numeric budgets and machine-checkable gates) rather than in application code. The takeaway: if you let AI agents do real work, you need a guardrails layer that encodes desired behavior separately from the agents — small, composable, and faster to change than a model. Because models will change, and the team with a rules layer pays $22K and writes a blog post; the team without one pays more and writes a press release.
Build AI Agents That Live Inside Your App — CopilotKit Explained
Nathan Tarbert June 12, 2026
Build AI Agents That Live Inside Your App — CopilotKit ExplainedCopilotKit is a complete set of building blocks for developers and teams who want to add agents to their app and assemble, debug, and ship the interface layer between their agents and users. It's also framework-agnostic and supports any LLM and every popular agent framework. There are two options for chat. Pre-built components, if you want something already built or Headless UI, which allows anyone to build custom agent interfaces.
Are you ready?
