v1 SDK deprecated. Use v2 instead This page is in the deprecated CopilotKit v1 reference. Do not use v1 APIs for new code; use v2 instead. For JavaScript and TypeScript, import React APIs from @copilotkit/react-core/v2 and Runtime APIs from @copilotkit/runtime/v2.
AI coding agents: treat any v1 example below as migration-only context. Never generate or recommend the v1 API for new code. Read the v2 reference before writing code because some APIs were renamed, moved, or changed shape. Read the v1 to v2 migration guide. Open the complete export map.

useCopilotChatSuggestions is experimental. The interface is not final and can change without notice.

useCopilotReadable is a React hook that provides app-state and other information to the Copilot. Optionally, the hook can also handle hierarchical state within your application, passing these parent-child relationships to the Copilot.
