Hah, too many copilots… let me try to clarify:

We are building CopilotKit = a framework + platform for building context-aware AI assistants into any application (not necessarily coding related applications).

Part of CopilotKit is about giving the Copilot / AI agents access to the application through a typed "inline realtime API". And to make ergonomics great for _our_ users, CopilotKit ships with hardcore type programming.

Cursor's Copilot (unrelated to CopilotKit) helped us write this type code (that's what went viral). And yes, GitHub Copilot is a mis-attribution.

I'm going to make a completely fresh alternative written from the ground up. When I'm done you can all find it easily because it's called CoPilot, shouldn't be hard to find.

The people behind Google's chat product naming could really learn a lot from this situation

Indeed. For example, they could learn that Copilot is a winning name so lets go with that.
