Botpress
Botpress is a conversational AI builder and LLM agent platform used to design chatbot workflows and orchestrate agents powered by large language models. It provides a framework for managing the entire lifecycle of these agents, from initial creation through to deployment across various production environments.
The platform includes a custom integration SDK for developing and publishing third-party connectors that extend agent capabilities. These tools allow for the creation of custom plugins that connect AI agents to external APIs and third-party services.
The system supports both visual design tools and programmatic development through a client library and command line interface. Development capabilities include local environment simulation for testing agents and a pipeline for deploying bot extensions to private workspaces or public hubs.
