About Botpress

Botpress is a platform for building AI agents and chatbots powered by large language models. The Canadian company began with an open-source chatbot framework and later rebuilt the product as a cloud platform centered on a visual studio, where builders combine autonomous LLM nodes with structured workflows and can drop into JavaScript code whenever a step needs custom logic.

Agents draw on knowledge bases built from websites, documents and tables, call external systems through more than 100 integrations, and deploy to web chat, WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams and other channels. Human handoff, analytics, versioning and role-based collaboration are layered across plans. Pricing starts with a free plan of 100 conversations, then Plus and Team plans priced by included monthly conversations, with extra conversation packs and an AI usage allowance; usage beyond that allowance is billed, so the total cost depends on traffic and the models you choose.

Botpress fits developers, agencies and product teams building several agents that must follow defined processes and connect to real systems. Non-technical users who simply want a website bot trained on their content will be faster with Chatbase, Voiceflow offers a more design-oriented collaboration experience for conversation teams, and support organizations already on a help desk may prefer Intercom Fin or Zendesk AI agents. The product evolves quickly, so older tutorials and community answers can go out of date.
