CopilotKit raises $27M Series A

I’m excited to share that CopilotKit has raised a $27M Series A led by Glilot Capital, NfX, and SignalFire.

Today, CopilotKit is used by the majority of the Fortune 500s and powers millions of agent-user interactions in production every single day. The open standard we lead, AG-UI, has been adopted by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle, alongside the top agent harness startups.

We believe that all UI is becoming AI. Meaning, all interactions between humans and technology are quickly becoming mediated by agentic systems.

This capital enables us to continue building the Enterprise Agentic Frontend Stack for generative UI and agent-human collaboration.

How we got here

It's been 2 years since we publicly launched CopilotKit.

Since the days of GPT3.5, even before people called it agents, we made a bet that in the future, agents and humans would be collaborating together on software. Now it’s not only paying off, but we’re leading this layer entirely.

A year ago, we shipped AG-UI, the open protocol for how agents talk to user-facing apps. Now our libraries are reaching over 4 million weekly downloads.

Today, CopilotKit is used in production by the majority of the Fortune 500 and Global 50, including DocuSign, S&P Global, Cisco, Deutsche Telekom and Function Health.

AG-UI has been adopted by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, LangChain, Mastra, Pydantic AI, Agno, AG2, LlamaIndex, and more.

We power millions of agent-user interactions every week.

And our open-source SDKs across CopilotKit and AG-UI are loved by developers with over 40,000 GitHub stars and 150 contributors.

This growth - all of it - is just the beginning.

What We're Solving

AI is changing the way humans interact with software. Think of it like this:

Human intelligence is consistent, reliable, and broadly available. AI intelligence is spiky- superhuman at some things, growing fast on the rest.

The layer connecting the two is where the next decade of software gets built.

Think about what Claude Code and Cursor did for developers. That transformation is coming to every vertical, every product and every workflow. And as AI gets more powerful, the agent-human collaboration layer gets more and more important.

That's why we exist.

Where we're going

You can expect our team to spend even more time in these three areas:

1. Generative UI everywhere

We support the full spectrum of agent-driven user interfaces: controlled UI through AG-UI, declarative UI through Google's A2UI, open-ended UI through Anthropic's MCP Apps.

All of them, in one stack.

2. Self-improving agents

Every interaction in a CopilotKit-powered application is a signal: accepted, rejected, edited, or redirected.

We're building the layer that feeds those signals back so agents improve from production usage, without a fine-tune cycle. Continuous Learning from Human Feedback (CLHF), prompt mutation, per-user adaptation.

This ships next.

3. AG-UI as the standard

AG-UI is the open protocol that connects AI agents to user-facing applications. The way agents reach the people they're built for. Already adopted across the major frameworks.

We're investing in what comes next: more clients beyond the browser, more frameworks shipping AG-UI by default, and better tooling for the people building on it.

Open, independent, free.

We just launched CopilotKit Enterprise Intelligence

The CopilotKit Enterprise Intelligence Platform is the layer that powers persistent threads and cross-device sync in CopilotKit today, with observability and self-improvement coming next.

Self-hosted on Kubernetes. Managed cloud coming soon.

This is what teams use when they take an agent from a demo to production.

Introducing WebMCP for CopilotKitYour frontend tools shouldn't be locked to one copilot. WebMCP support is now live in CopilotKit: every tool you register with useFrontendTool is discoverable and callable by any WebMCP-compatible browser agent — ChatGPT Atlas, Comet, Dia, and whatever comes next. Opt-in per tool, auto-register on mount, works across React, Vue, Angular and more. Open source and requires just one line of config.

Slack Agents Night: OpenTag running on the Channels SDKWe hosted Slack Agents Night with WorkOS in San Francisco, where Sofía from our team demoed Kite and OpenTag running on the Channels SDK. Kite drafted a real PR from a Slack thread, rendered native Block Kit components, and ran alongside Antigravity in the same conversation. Here's the full recording plus a breakdown of how the Channels SDK puts any AG-UI agent into Slack and Teams.
OpenBot passes 3,500 GitHub stars! Here's what's new in v0.0.5

OpenBot passes 3,500 GitHub stars! Here's what's new in v0.0.5OpenBot just crossed 3,500 GitHub stars, and v0.0.5 has tons of new features. Bots can now answer from Google Drive and Notion, hand off to each other, run on a schedule, and route untagged messages on their own. You can take the wheel of a Bot's browser mid-task, ship skills for smarter tool use, sign in with enterprise SSO, deploy via Helm on AWS, dry-run boundary rules, and lean on a wide security hardening pass. Open source and self-hostable! Check it on GitHub.
