Libredesk is an open-source, self-hosted omnichannel customer support desk shipped as a single Go binary with a Vue frontend. It unifies live chat, email, and (soon) WhatsApp conversations in one inbox, with a knowledge base help center, AI assistant, automations, SLA tracking, and CSAT surveys.

Use cases

  • self-host a customer support helpdesk
  • replace Intercom or Zendesk with an open-source alternative
  • add a live chat widget to my website
  • run an AI chatbot grounded in my knowledge base
  • manage support tickets from email and chat in one inbox
  • track SLA response times and CSAT for my support team
  • publish a searchable help center for my product
  • auto-assign support conversations to agents

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted, single-binary support desk with minimal infrastructure (Postgres + Redis)
  • you need omnichannel inboxing for email and live chat with automations and RBAC
  • you want built-in knowledge base, AI assistant, and CSAT analytics without paying SaaS fees
  • you prefer an AGPL open-source alternative to Intercom, Zendesk, or Chatwoot

When to avoid

  • you need a managed SaaS with vendor support and no server maintenance
  • you require WhatsApp or other channels that are not yet fully supported
  • you need deep integrations with a large third-party app ecosystem
  • AGPL licensing is incompatible with your usage or distribution model
