Botpress is the open source chatbot builder for teams that want to build, host, and control their own AI-powered conversational agents — without handing customer conversation data to Intercom, Drift, or Zendesk's cloud infrastructure.
Commercial chatbot platforms charge per conversation, per seat, or per resolution. As support volume grows, so does the bill. More critically, every customer interaction is stored on the vendor's servers: conversation history, intent patterns, and the data your users share during support flows. For regulated industries or companies with strict data governance requirements, this creates ongoing compliance risk.
Botpress runs on your infrastructure. Its visual flow editor handles multi-turn conversation logic — branches, variables, conditions, and API calls — without requiring code for standard use cases. LLM-powered nodes integrate directly into flows for intent detection, entity extraction, and generative responses, making it straightforward to upgrade a rules-based bot to a hybrid AI/deterministic system.
Botpress is best for product and support teams deploying self-hosted AI chatbots with visual tooling, organizations replacing expensive SaaS conversational AI vendors without losing control of conversation data, and developers building customer-facing assistants that must meet data residency requirements.
Unlike Intercom or Drift, Botpress runs on your own infrastructure — conversation data never leaves your servers, there is no per-resolution billing, and you can connect any LLM or build custom NLU models without waiting for a vendor's roadmap.
