What problem does it solve?

Python-based ChatKit backends give teams full control over data, hosting, and customization for ChatKit-driven experiences, avoiding dependency on hosted workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end backend orchestration for ChatKit using a single model factory pattern.
  • Streaming responses to the frontend via Server-Sent Events as agents produce results.
  • Tools, widgets, and client-tool integration to build rich, interactive chats.
  • Use cases include private enterprise chat assistants, internal helpdesks, and research copilots.

Quick Start

Launch a FastAPI app hosting the /chatkit/api endpoint and configure the ChatKit client to point to your backend with proper authentication.
