Step 2: Setup CopilotKit

TailoredContent, TailoredContentOption, } from "@/components/react/tailored-content";

Now that we have our todo list app running, we're ready to integrate CopilotKit. For this tutorial, we will install the following dependencies:

  • @copilotkit/react-core: The core library for CopilotKit, which contains the CopilotKit provider and useful hooks.
  • @copilotkit/react-ui: The UI library for CopilotKit, which contains the CopilotKit UI components such as the sidebar, chat popup, textarea and more.

Install Dependencies

To install the CopilotKit dependencies, run the following:

npm install @copilotkit/react-core @copilotkit/react-ui

Setup CopilotKit

In order to use CopilotKit, we'll need to configure the CopilotKit provider.

Set up Copilot Runtime Endpoint

Configure the CopilotKit Provider

CopilotKit Chat Popup

We provide several plug-and-play components for you to interact with your copilot. Some of these are <CopilotPopup/>, <CopilotSidebar/>, and <CopilotChat/>. You can of course use CopilotKit in headless mode and provide your own fully custom UI via useCopilotChat.

In this tutorial, we'll use the <CopilotPopup/> component to display the chat popup.

"use client";

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <>
      <TasksProvider>
        <TasksList />
      </TasksProvider>
      {/* [!code highlight:1] */}
      <CopilotPopup />
    </>
  );
}

Here's what we did:

  • We imported the <CopilotPopup /> component from @copilotkit/react-ui.
  • We wrapped the page with the <CopilotKit> provider.
  • We imported the built-in styles from @copilotkit/react-ui.

Now, head back to your app and you'll find a chat popup in the bottom right corner of the page. At this point, you can start interacting with your copilot! 🎉

In the next step, we'll make our assistant smarter by providing it with readable state about our todo list.
