Set up a CopilotKit Channel

The workflow is not written down here. It lives at one canonical URL so it is corrected in one place instead of on every surface that describes it:

https://copilotkit.ai/channels-guide.md

Do this

1. Fetch https://copilotkit.ai/channels-guide.md.
2. Verify you actually got the guide (below).
3. Follow it exactly, start to finish.

The guide asks for its own inputs — the target project, the agent's real job, Slack or Microsoft Teams, and the agent framework and model. Do not pre-empt those questions, and do not substitute remembered channel-setup steps for what the guide says. Remembered steps are the reason this file is a pointer.

Verify you actually got the guide

A missing guide does not return 404. The site answers unknown paths with a "Page not found" HTML page under HTTP 200, so a successful status code proves nothing. Check the body instead:

• It is markdown, not HTML.
• It begins with # Build and prove a CopilotKit Channels agent.
• It contains five ## Phase headings.

If any of those fail, you did not get the guide — treat it as unavailable no matter what the status code said.

If you did not get the guide

Stop.…
