CopilotKit Ships OpenDots to Give AI Agents Web, Voice, and Slack Access
CopilotKit released OpenDots, a self-hostable template for persistent AI coworkers with their own computers, Slack access, and voice calls.
- CopilotKit released OpenDots, a self-hostable, MIT-licensed template for always-on AI coworkers.
- Each Dot gets its own role, permissions, and isolated computer with browser, files, and shell.
- Agents move across web chat, voice calls, and Slack while sharing the same conversation context.
- Built on AG-UI protocol with CopilotKit React SDK, Threads, Channels SDK, and OpenBot containers.
- Human-in-the-loop review cards pause tool calls before any save, with retry-safe deduplication.
- Alpha status: single-owner today, no shared editing, Slack and spoken delegation still need live verification.
OpenDots packages agent UX for web, voice, and Slack
CopilotKit has released OpenDots, an open-source template for building persistent AI coworkers that operate through a web app, voice calls, and Slack. The MIT-licensed repository packages the interface and orchestration layers developers typically need to build themselves, including editable outputs, isolated agent environments, approval gates, and channel integrations.
OpenDots organizes work into Spaces containing editable Pages and specialist agents called Dots. Each Dot has a defined role, scoped permissions, and an isolated computer. Researchers, writers, and Slack responders can complete tasks in separate sandboxes while leaving work on Pages that people can review and revise.
Editable pages, scoped agents
OpenDots uses the AG-UI protocol to stream messages, tool calls, and agent state between a backend and a React interface. CopilotKit's React SDK and runtime render the experience, Intelligence preserves durable Threads for ongoing agent context, and the Channels SDK connects Slack. Page content and metadata are stored separately from conversation history, allowing each to persist independently.
- Spaces and Pages: A document workspace with a visual editor, slash commands, autosave, and revision checks that stop stale requests from overwriting newer edits.
