Intelligence identity and Memory

An Intelligence Runtime supports web only, Channels only, or both. Web routes need identifyUser(request). Each Channel has its own identifyUser policy in createChannel. A Channels-only Runtime omits the web callback and exposes no functional web routes.

const runtime = new CopilotRuntime({
  agents,
  intelligence,
  identifyUser: authenticateApplicationUser,
  channels: [supportChannel],
  memory: {
    access: async ({ request, user, consumer }) => {
      const role = await roleFor(request, user);
      if (role === "blocked") return null;
      return consumer === "client"
        ? { user: "read", project: "none" }
        : { user: "read-write", project: "read" };
    },
  },
});

The callback runs once per web request. Its user owns ordinary web Threads and is reused for agent and browser Memory policy. Adding memory exposes the browser Memory routes and agent tools under the same policy. A denial returns 403; a policy error fails the request. Omitting memory hides the browser routes and does not attach Memory tools.

exposeMemoryRoutes and CopilotKitIntelligence({ enableEnterpriseLearning: true }) remain for one compatibility window. New code should use memory.access.

Analytics & Privacy

CopilotKit uses Scarf for anonymous usage analytics to help improve the product. Scarf handles all privacy compliance and does not store raw IP addresses. This helps us understand how CopilotKit is being used and prioritize improvements.

Opting Out

To disable analytics, set the environment variable:

export COPILOTKIT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true

Or use the DO_NOT_TRACK standard:

export DO_NOT_TRACK=1
