In simple English
This tool lets you build a customer support system run by artificial intelligence. It answers customer questions from your documents and websites. When a question gets too hard, it hands the chat over to a human worker. You can place a chat window on your website or connect it to messaging apps. Running this software requires a server with enough memory to handle multiple connected services.
What it is
An open-source customer service platform that combines multiple artificial intelligence models, document search, and instant messaging. It runs across several connected services managed through a single installation script.
What it is good for
Solo builders and small teams who want an automated help desk that answers customer questions day and night without paying a monthly fee to a commercial service.
- Handles customer questions automatically using your own documents and web pages.
- Switches smoothly from artificial intelligence to human agents when conversations get complicated.
- Includes chat widgets for websites and mobile apps.
- Needs a powerful server with at least 4 CPU cores and 8 GB of memory to run all services.
- Setup involves running an automated script that configures multiple Docker containers at once.
- Uses a custom licence that may restrict certain commercial uses or hosted offerings.
