Requested by Uli in Slack: https://copilotkit.slack.com/archives/C075NF9SN01/p1787245148356729

What this changes

The requirements list said:

  • A CopilotKit Intelligence project and license.

It now says:

  • A CopilotKit Intelligence project and license. A free plan is available, and Intelligence can be self-hosted.

Why

Named without qualification, it reads as a paid dependency before somebody has cloned anything. Both facts were already true and neither was on the page, and Uli's point is that this is what people get wrong first.

Scoped to the bullet he screenshotted. The quick start already tells you how to self-host at step 3 ("Keep the managed Intelligence URLs from .env.example unless you run Intelligence yourself"), so the gap was the requirements list, not the instructions.

Wording follows the README's voice rather than copying the Slack phrasing verbatim.

format:check clean. README only, no code.

The requirements list named a project and a license and left it there, which
reads as a paid dependency before somebody has cloned anything. Both are
already true and neither was on the page: there is a free plan, and
Intelligence can be run yourself.

Requested by Uli, who has been asking for it because it is the thing people
get wrong first.
