SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables developers to build and deploy their own custom backend infrastructure for ChatKit, offering full control over data, logic, and integration without relying on Agent Builder.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Custom Backend Implementation: Design and implement a Python backend (FastAPI, Django, etc.) to power the ChatKit UI.
  • OpenAI Agents SDK Integration: Orchestrate conversations using the OpenAI Agents SDK, connecting ChatKit to powerful AI agents and tools.
  • Widget Streaming: Stream rich UI widgets directly from Python tools to the ChatKit frontend.
  • Use Case: Integrate ChatKit with your existing Python web application, allowing users to interact with AI agents through a familiar chat interface while keeping all data within your infrastructure.

Quick Start

Use the openai-chatkit-backend-python skill to create a minimal FastAPI backend that handles ChatKit API calls and integrates with the OpenAI Agents SDK.

Can I stream rich UI widgets from a Python backend to ChatKit?

Yes, you can stream rich UI widgets directly from Python tools to the ChatKit frontend. This Skill supports widget streaming to render advanced interactive components within the chat interface.

Does ChatKit work with the OpenAI Agents SDK for tool integration?

ChatKit works with the OpenAI Agents SDK by connecting the custom FastAPI backend to powerful AI agents, enabling seamless tool integration and advanced agent orchestration for user interactions.

What is the best way to integrate ChatKit with an existing Python web application?

The best way to integrate ChatKit with an existing Python web application is deploying a custom FastAPI backend, allowing users to interact with AI agents while keeping all data within your infrastructure.

Do I need FastAPI to implement a ChatKit custom backend?

FastAPI is used for the minimal quick start implementation, but you can design and implement a custom ChatKit backend using other Python web frameworks like Django to power the UI.

Why use a custom Python backend for ChatKit instead of Agent Builder?

Use a custom Python backend for ChatKit instead of Agent Builder to gain full control over data, logic, and integration, ensuring all infrastructure and processing remain within your existing systems.
