botpress

What it does

This repository holds the public integrations and plugins for Botpress — connectors to messaging platforms, calendars, mail and the rest — while the platform they plug into is the vendor's cloud. That's the thing to understand before adopting it: the open part is the edges, and the middle is a paid service, so check current pricing and free-tier limits first. Customer conversations live on their infrastructure. MIT for what's here.

botpress FAQ

Is botpress free?

botpress itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use botpress?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does botpress work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use botpress commercially?

The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
