Why Copilot SDK
Build production-ready AI copilots in minutes, not months. Self-hosted, enterprise-grade, zero lock-in.
Why Copilot SDK?
Building AI assistants shouldn't require a team of ML engineers and months of development. Yet that's exactly what most solutions demand.
Ship in hours, not months. From zero to production-ready AI copilot with 3 lines of code.
The Problem with Existing Solutions
Most AI copilot solutions fall into two campsβand both have serious drawbacks:
SaaS Platforms (Intercom, Zendesk AI, etc.)
| Problem | Impact |
|---|---|
| Vendor Lock-in | Your AI, your data, their servers. Good luck migrating. |
| Limited Customization | Pre-built widgets that don't match your brand or UX |
| Per-seat Pricing | Costs explode as you scale |
| No Code Access | Can't extend, can't debug, can't own |
| Data Privacy Concerns | Customer conversations on third-party servers |
DIY with Raw LLM APIs
| Problem | Impact |
|---|---|
| Months of Development | Building streaming, tools, context, UI from scratch |
| No Context Awareness | AI has no idea what's on the user's screen |
| Complex State Management | Conversation history, tool calls, agentic loops |
| Multi-provider Headache | Different APIs, different formats, different quirks |
| Maintenance Burden | Every API change breaks your implementation |

Built for Speed
What Takes Others Weeks, Takes You Minutes
// Step 1: Wrap your app (30 seconds)
<CopilotProvider runtimeUrl="/api/chat">
<App />
</CopilotProvider>
// Step 2: Add the chat (30 seconds)
<CopilotChat />
// Step 3: You're done. Ship it.That's a production-ready AI copilot. With streaming, conversation history, and beautiful UI.
Want more? Add context awareness in one line:
<CopilotProvider
tools={{ screenshot: true, console: true }}
/>Now your AI can see screenshots and read console errors. Try doing that with Intercom.
Enterprise-Grade Architecture
Built for companies that can't afford downtime or data leaks.
Self-Deployed
Runs on your infrastructure. AWS, GCP, Azure, on-premβwherever your compliance team says.
Data Sovereignty
Customer conversations never leave your servers. GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2 friendly.
Horizontal Scaling
Stateless architecture. Scale to millions of conversations without code changes.
Provider Flexibility
Swap between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or your own fine-tuned models. Same code.
Your Infrastructure, Your Control

Full Code Ownership
No Black Boxes
Every line of code is yours to inspect, modify, and extend:
- Fork and customize - Don't like something? Change it.
- Debug with confidence - Full stack traces, no mystery APIs
- Extend freely - Add custom tools, providers, UI components
- No dependency risk - Service goes down? You still have the code.
Open Architecture
// Custom tool? Easy.
useToolWithSchema({
name: 'custom_action',
schema: z.object({ /* your schema */ }),
handler: async (params) => {
// Your logic, your way
}
});
// Custom provider? Done.
import { createCustomProvider } from '@yourgpt/llm-sdk';
// Custom UI? Of course.
import { useCopilotChat } from '@yourgpt/copilot-sdk/react';
// Build whatever UI you want with the hookWho's This For?
