CopilotKit Channels SDK - Bring any agent to Slack, Teams, and more.
by•
The Channels SDK is the next big piece in the agentic puzzle:
Bring ANY agent into Slack, Teams, WhatsApp and more.
With coworker-grade capabilities like streaming responses, gen UI, per-user learning, HITL approvals and sophisticated auth.
Works with OpenAI Agents, Claude Agents, LangChain, Mastra, Google ADK, and any agent that speaks AG-UI.
Open-source and self-hostable.
Setup with a single prompt:
"Read https://copilotkit.ai/channels-g... and help the user build their first channel"

Hey all, I'm CEO of CopilotKit, the startup behind AG-UI and the Channels SDK. Thanks for the support!
We're pretty excited for this one -- I think channels may soon become the 3rd big form factor of LLMs (after Chat, and Codex/Claude-Code style agents).
We've worked really hard to to shrink the onboarding setup to a single prompt:
"Read https://copilotkit.ai/channels-guide.md and help the user build their first channel".
It's literally that easy. Then it will help you create a coworker-grade Slack / Teams agent backed by basically any of the top agent frameworks and harnesses out there.
Would love to get feedback, especially if you hit any snags

Hey there, Product Hunt 👋
Excited to launch Channels SDK today!
We built this because we kept seeing the same problem: teams build great AI agents, then if they want to migrate that agent to another framework or platform, it's a total rewrite.
Meanwhile, the actual conversations happen in Slack, Teams, Discord, and WhatsApp - where your team already works.
Channels SDK closes that gap. Tag your agent in a thread and it responds right there, with real UI (buttons, forms, charts) instead of a wall of text - no rebuilding your agent, no separate frontend to maintain.
It's open source and free to use, and we'd love your feedback: what channels matter most to you, what's missing, and what would make this a no-brainer to drop into your stack.
Thanks for checking it out - happy to answer any questions in the comments!

Excited for the Channels SDK release!
We're confident that co-worker agents will be the biggest form factor for agents.
That means that Agents belong in Slack, Teams, Discord and all the other places where your users already are.
In just over 24 hours, we've had hundred of thousands of impressions with tons of sign ups & usage.
Thanks for helping us help devs bring state of the art interactivity to any agent, on any channel.

@eli_berman2Â it's been exciting to watch behind the scenes, and kudos to the team for building what I think is the next wave of interactive platform experience.
It was fun creating it, too.

@benjamin_taylor8 you're a beast!

Just gave it a try and it’s really cool. I like how model/provider agnostic everything is.

@chris_verner thanks! Channels SDK has already boosted my productivity by leaps, and I know it's going to be very valuable for many companies.
Super excited for this! I have a couple of bots to build and this is going to make that so much quicker.

Amazing way to build agents with durable memory right in Slack.

@travis_murdock this is going to be the new wave of how we interact with agents everyday!

Had a lot of fun messing around with the Channels SDK. It genuinely unlocks some powerful workflows - hook up external tools (GitHub, Linear, Notion...) and the agent can do all your work in one go. Pretty sick work from the team!!
