About Botpress
Botpress serves builders who hit walls in simpler tools: an agent studio with cards and flows, but also code injection everywhere, an integration hub, and autonomous LLM-driven nodes that decide paths dynamically. Its open-source roots show in the developer experience and community plugins. The trade-off is complexity; the reward is agents that do exactly what you designed.
