Come on.. you don't say "open-source" and point us to a Google form instead of a repo

We’ve been working on this for a little while and we’re about a week or two from public launch. But decided to accelerate it behind early access. Public access is coming soon.

Why are you publishing a form and not a GitHub repo? Is this intended to become a startup?

Atai Barkai's profile picture
Atai Barkai4 months ago

It’s built on @CopilotKit and our AG-UI protocol. All open source. We’ve just released early access for Slack and Teams. With many more frontend clients coming soon (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord…).

@CopilotKit Ok so a startup but open source?

Atai Barkai's profile picture
Atai Barkai4 months ago

@CopilotKit CopilotKit, yes. But we're building more than just Open Tag. We let devs bring any Agent, to any User, on any Platform.

calling it opentag then not open sourcing it ? let go of the name

We’ve been working on it for a while and it was a couple of weeks from launch when Claude tag came out. We accelerated it in early access but public launch coming soon!

Code or service?

Atai Barkai's profile picture
Atai Barkai4 months ago

Both. The underlying SDKs will be available open source. Dealing with Slack/Teams/… deployment is a PAIN so also making available a service that takes care of that. The service is part of CopilotKit Enterprise so it’s available via our managed cloud but also fully self hostable for VPC/on prem deployment

Awesome, thank you! Quick question, do you have any license restrictions for using CopilotKit in products directly competitor of CopilotKit Enterprise in the area of connecting to Slack?

No, it’s MIT license

How does the memory layer work in Open Tag? I feel that is the tricky part

@CopilotKit While I’ve been building an in-house custom solution for our product I also discovered @CopilotKit and all the underlying tools, so good. We had to stick with the custom solution at work, but I used it in my side/weekend projects 👏🏼

Always feels good to see an open-source alternative to a closed-source solution. If tags become a real interface primitive for agents, they probably shouldn’t be locked to one model or one harness.

Atai Barkai's profile picture
Atai Barkai4 months ago

Exactly and that's what we try to do at @CopilotKit . We're building the horizontal layer for the agentic frontend stack. Any agent, for Any user, on Any platform.

My agent runs a browser round the clock. The HITL loop I shipped first was just me approving CSS tweaks at 1am, useless. Had to rebuild so it only escalates what it can't decide.

@braneloop I believe the key behind Claude tag is RL training on Slack. This isn’t only a harness thing; I’m pretty sure there’s a slack fine tiene model behind

Another blow to Anthropic! They spent months building what's now fully open-source. Anthropic recently put Claude inside Slack, where you can tag it in a channel. It reads the thread, breaks the task into steps, and posts the result back. The problem is that it only runs Claude and only in the channels Anthropic supports. Running your own agent there is harder. The reasoning, tool calls, and state management are mostly handled by the framework. Connecting that agent to a messaging platform is not. Moreover, each platform has a different integration: - Slack renders messages with Block Kit - Teams uses Adaptive Cards - and each has its own SDK, auth flow, and delivery model. If an agent needs to run on three platforms, one must write three separate integrations against the same agent logic. That overhead explains why most custom agents never get deployed to Slack, and why the ones that do are usually a single vendor's hosted assistant. The alternative is to keep the agent in one place and add a per-platform adapter that translates its output into each platform's native format. The agent is written once, and each channel requires just another output target instead of a separate build. CopilotKit open-sourced this full implementation in the Channels SDK. Essentially, any agent that implements AG-UI can run in a messaging platform in a few lines of code, like Slack, Teams, Discord, WhatsApp, and many more. Because the agent runs inside the thread, it has that conversation's context, so it can summarize the discussion, open a ticket, or route to the right person. It works with any backend, so LangGraph, CrewAI, Mastra, Google ADK, or a plain HTTP agent can connect through an existing endpoint. The same message can render as a Block Kit in Slack and as Adaptive Cards in Teams. In practice, the model and orchestration stay the same; it requires no migration or rewrite. It also handles human-in-the-loop approvals, persistence, and transcripts that carry state across platforms, so a thread started in Teams can continue in Slack. CopilotKit is open-source, and AG-UI is supported across every major agent framework, including LangGraph, CrewAI, Mastra, and Google ADK. Here's the repo: (don't forget to star it ⭐) The agent running in Slack no longer has to be a vendor's. It can be the one you already built. The video below shows this in action. Thanks to CopilotKit for working with me on this launch.
