CopilotKit Publishes OpenDuet, an MIT Template That Asks Before It Sends or Pays
Summary
CopilotKit publishes OpenDuet, an MIT-licensed template for a proactive agent built on its OpenBot platform that reads Gmail and Google Calendar, drafts a morning brief, and pauses for approval before it sends, pays, signs, or deletes. Self-hosting requires Docker and a CopilotKit Intelligence project; the company says the free Developer plan is enough. The default model is OpenAI's gpt-5.6-terra.
Key Points
- Approvals offer three choices: Allow once, Always allow, or Refuse, and deny rules block an action outright.
- CopilotKit turns on usage telemetry tagged OpenDuet by default; setting COPILOTKIT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true turns it off.
- CopilotKit says no hosted deploy guide or OpenDuet image is published yet, so Docker self-hosting is the supported path.
