CopilotTask

This class is used to execute one-off tasks, for example on button press. It can use the context available via useCopilotReadable and the actions provided by useCopilotAction, or you can provide your own context and actions.

Example

In the simplest case, use CopilotTask in the context of your app by giving it instructions on what to do.

import { CopilotTask, useCopilotContext } from "@copilotkit/react-core";
 
export function MyComponent() {
  const context = useCopilotContext();
 
  const task = new CopilotTask({
    instructions: "Set a random message",
    actions: [
      {
        name: "setMessage",
      description: "Set the message.",
      argumentAnnotations: [
        {
          name: "message",
          type: "string",
          description:
            "A message to display.",
          required: true,
        },
      ],
 
      implementation: async (message) => {
        // ...
      },
    }
    ]
  });
 
  const executeTask = async () => {
    await task.run(context, action);
  }
 
  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={executeTask}>
        Execute task
      </button>
    </>
  )
}
