## What it is
Botpress is an open-source platform and hub for building, deploying, and managing GPT/LLM-powered chatbots and AI agents, with a visual studio, knowledge bases, tables, and an integration hub. This repository contains its open-source integrations, developer tools (CLI, SDK, API client), and example bots-as-code.

## Use cases
- build a customer support chatbot powered by GPT-4
- create an AI agent that handles refunds and account updates
- deploy a chatbot on WhatsApp, Telegram, or webchat
- ingest website docs and PDFs into a knowledge base for grounded answers
- develop custom integrations for the Botpress Hub with the CLI and SDK
- build multi-step LLM workflows that call external APIs
- create a lead qualification agent for a SaaS landing page

## When to choose
- you want a full platform with visual builder, knowledge bases, and channel integrations for LLM agents
- you need to deploy customer-facing support or sales agents quickly with minimal code
- you want an open-source, extensible integration ecosystem with SDK/CLI tooling
- you need agents that take real actions (CRM updates, refunds) rather than just chat

## When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight library to embed LLM calls in an existing app
- you require fully self-hosted on-premise deployment of the current cloud platform (v12 is a separate legacy repo)
- you want a minimal, code-first agent framework without a hosted platform dependency
- your project must avoid vendor cloud services entirely
