I've never really been a fan of chat interfaces

I’ve never really been a fan of chat interfaces.

Most chats feel temporary:

• you ask something, get an answer, and then the information disappears into history.
• It’s hard to build real workflows around chats, hard to organize knowledge, and even harder to find things later.

What I found interesting about CopilotKit is a slightly different direction.

Instead of “just another chatbot,” it feels more like adding an intelligent layer directly into the product experience itself:

• helping users navigate complex systems
• guiding them through actions
• answering questions in context
• becoming a new way to interact with documentation and workflows.
