YourGPT Launches Open-Source Copilot SDK to Build AI Agents That Know Your Product
Over the past year, many SaaS products have added AI chatbots. They answer questions, guide users, and reduce some support load. That was a useful first step, but it is no longer enough.
Most still live in a chat window with no awareness of the application. They don't understand product state, selected data, user permissions, or current workflows—so users must restate context the system already has.
Without access to application context or the ability to take direct action, AI can remain limited to conversation. They sit inside a chat window, disconnected from the product, unaware of context, and unable to take real action.
Today, YourGPT announced the release of YourGPT Copilot SDK—an open-source software development kit that enables teams to build product-level intelligence directly into their applications, with full context awareness and state management.
Instead of asking users to explain their situation, assistants built with the Copilot SDK can understand application state, user roles, selected data, and ongoing workflows.
From Chatbots to Product-Aware Copilots
Most AI tools today rely on conversation alone. The Copilot SDK takes a different approach.
Copilot that understands your product.
— Page awareness: knows where the user is in the product — Reasoning and planning: performs multi-step decision making — Permission awareness: respects user roles and access rules — Workflow awareness: understands the task the user is trying to complete — Generative UI rendering: produces structured, interactive components
— Tool integration: calls frontend and backend tools to perform actions
— Session persistence: maintains conversation history across sessions
This shifts AI from being a passive responder to an active part of the product experience.
Built for Real Product Teams
"We've always believed that Copilots can help deliver the best customer experience by taking action, not just answering questions," said Rohit, Co-founder of YourGPT. "This SDK enables teams to build Layer 2 intelligence for their products. That's why we decided to open-source Copilot SDK for developers and SaaS companies. It goes beyond chatbot widget's capabilities. It's a comprehensive framework for creating AI agents that integrate deeply with your backend, orchestrate complex workflows, and execute real product actions."
The Copilot SDK is designed for SaaS companies, internal platforms, and enterprise tools where reliability and context matter.
Teams can embed assistants directly into dashboards, admin panels, and workflows. The SDK supports modern frontend frameworks, works with any large language model, and keeps data ownership fully in the hands of the product team.
Developers can start with prebuilt components or customize everything, from UI behavior to tool execution and context injection.
Why YourGPT Built This
The YourGPT Copilot Widget (Layer 1) is designed for teams who want to deploy AI quickly without heavy development work. It's low-code and no-code friendly, pre-built for platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and popular CRMs, and works best for quick deployment with simple action workflows and conversational support. It operates as an intelligent chat interface that can execute predefined actions.
The Copilot SDK (Layer 2) takes a fundamentally different approach. Built specifically for developers and saas teams, it enables deep frontend and backend integration with complete access to application state, user permissions, and workflows. Rather than working as a standalone widget, the SDK is designed for advanced, product-native intelligence that can be embedded directly into dashboards, admin panels, and product experiences. It supports custom tool execution, generative UI components, and gives development teams full control over AI behavior and integration. The Widget gets you started fast. The SDK lets you build intelligence into your product.
Availability
The YourGPT Copilot SDK is available today, fully open source.
We’re starting with React and JavaScript, with plans to expand to more frameworks like Vue in the near future.
We’re launching first with our community on Discord, Twitter, and email and we can’t wait to see what you build.
