# CopilotKit + LangGraph (Python)
A starter template for building AI agents using [LangGraph](https://www.langchain.com/langgraph) (Python) and [CopilotKit](https://copilotkit.ai), with optional **CopilotKit Intelligence** for durable conversation threads.
## Architecture
This project is a monorepo with three services:
| Service | Port | Description |
| ------------------------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Frontend** (`apps/app`) | 3000 | Vite + React app with CopilotKit chat UI |
| **BFF** (`apps/bff`) | 4000 | Hono server running the CopilotKit runtime |
| **Agent** (`apps/agent`) | 8123 | Python LangGraph agent |
When threads are enabled, additional infrastructure runs via Docker Compose:
| Service | Port | Description |
| ---------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PostgreSQL** | 5432 | Thread and event storage |
| **Redis** | 6379 | Session/cache |
| **Intelligence** | 4201, 4401 | All-in-one CopilotKit Intelligence container (app-api on 4201, realtime-gateway on 4401, plus thread-culler and db-migrations, under s6-overlay). |
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- Python 3.8+
- npm 10+
- OpenAI API Key
- Docker (for threads/intelligence support)
## Getting Started
1. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
2. Set up environment variables:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Edit `.env` and add your OpenAI API key.
3. **Get a license key** (if you don't already have one):
```bash
copilotkit license -n my-project
```
This authenticates you and issues a `COPILOTKIT_LICENSE_TOKEN`. Add it to your `.env`.
4. **Start intelligence infrastructure** (for threads):
```bash
docker compose up -d --wait
```
This pulls `ghcr.io/copilotkit/intelligence/composite` — a single container that runs app-api, realtime-gateway, thread-culler, and the db-migrations oneshot together under s6-overlay supervision. The per-service images remain available at `ghcr.io/copilotkit/intelligence/{app-api,realtime-gateway,thread-culler,db-migrations}` if you'd rather run them separately.
5. Start all services:
```bash
npm run dev
```
This starts the frontend, BFF, and agent concurrently.
You can also run each piece directly:
```bash
npm run dev:app
npm run dev:bff
npm run dev:agent
```
## Removing Threads
To strip out threads/intelligence and use this as a plain CopilotKit + LangGraph demo:
### Frontend
- **Delete** `apps/app/src/components/threads-drawer/` (the entire directory)
- **Revert `apps/app/src/App.tsx`** to remove the `ThreadsDrawer` component and the thread-aware layout wrapper. The app should go back to:
```tsx
import { CopilotChat, CopilotKitProvider } from "@copilotkit/react-core/v2";
import { ExampleLayout } from "@/components/example-layout";
import { ExampleCanvas } from "@/components/example-canvas";
import { useGenerativeUIExamples, useExampleSuggestions } from "@/hooks";
import { ThemeProvider } from "@/hooks/use-theme";
function HomePage() {
useGenerativeUIExamples();
useExampleSuggestions();
return (
<ExampleLayout
chatContent={
<CopilotChat input={{ disclaimer: () => null, className: "pb-6" }} />
}
appContent={<ExampleCanvas />}
/>
);
}
export default function App() {
return (
<ThemeProvider>
<CopilotKitProvider runtimeUrl="/api/copilotkit">
<HomePage />
</CopilotKitProvider>
</ThemeProvider>
);
}
```
### BFF
- **In `apps/bff/src/server.ts`**, remove the `CopilotKitIntelligence` import and configuration block. Change the `CopilotRuntime` options:
- Remove `intelligence`
- Remove `identifyUser`
- Remove `licenseToken`
- Switch the endpoint back to the non-v2 API if desired (or keep v2 without intelligence — both work)
### Infrastructure
- **Delete** `docker-compose.yml` and `docker/init-db/`
- **Remove** the `INTELLIGENCE_*` variables from `.env` / `.env.example` if you are no longer using CopilotKit Intelligence
### Summary of files to touch
