Documentation: docs.opencopilot.dev

🕊️ OpenCopilot Overview

Copilots are becoming the new paradigm how to build successful LLM-based applications, as seen by Github, Shopify, Brex, Hubspot, etc Copilots. Yet, building a Copilot that goes beyond a Twitter demo is time-consuming, unreliable and overly complex. Moreover, existing solutions such as Microsoft Copilot Stack are closed-source. Today, building an LLM-app feels like:

OpenCopilot solves this problem so building your own Copilot becomes intuitive, fast and reliable - all so you can build your copilot in a single day. For example, you can build Copilots such as:

🛠️ Developer tooling Copilot

• Example: Ready Player Me Copilot
• Implementation: Code

💾 SaaS Copilot

• Example: HubSpot ChatSpot

💳 E-commerce Copilot

• Example: Shopify Copilot

See more use cases in docs.

⚡ Quickstart

As prerequisites, you need to have Python 3.8+ and pip installed.

1. Install the OpenCopilot Python package

pip install opencopilot-ai

2. Create a new python file to set up a minimal Copilot

For example, you can create an AWS CLI Copilot using the following code by adding it to a copilot.py file. Make sure to replace openai_api_key with your 🔑 own OpenAI API key.

from opencopilot import OpenCopilot

PROMPT = """
You are an Amazon Web Services (AWS) CLI copilot. You are an interactive version of AWS CLI documentation and chat with developers who need help using it.
Your mission is to be a reliable companion throughout the developer journey - always ready to answer questions and share insights.

    prompt=PROMPT
)

# Download and embed the knowledge base from given URL
copilot.add_data_urls([
    "https://awsdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/cli/latest/aws-cli.pdf",
