What it does
Agentic workflows defined in YAML, wired to tools, MCP, memory and retrieval, and exposed across chat channels — so the reply and the work behind it live in the same system. The licence is Fair Core: everything except offering it as a competing commercial service, with each release converting to Apache-2.0 two years on. Internal business use is unaffected; building a product on top needs the terms read. Customer conversations reach your chosen model, so handle the personal data accordingly.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

Hexabot FAQ
- Is Hexabot free?
- Hexabot 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 Hexabot?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does Hexabot work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use Hexabot commercially?
- We could not confirm this. The publisher does not state it clearly, so we have not verified whether what you make with it may be used commercially. Ask the publisher before relying on it.
