Botpress
Botpress is an AI-native customer support platform whose agents resolve complex tickets end to end, take actions like refunds and learn from each resolution.
About this tool
Botpress presents itself as an AI-native customer support platform, describing itself as an AI agent maker that went on to build a helpdesk. Its agents are designed to handle complicated tickets, taking real actions such as processing refunds, updating accounts and running multi-step workflows rather than handing difficult cases back to staff.
When a human does need to step in, they receive the ticket with conversation history, account details and the troubleshooting already attempted. Each resolution becomes knowledge the agent reuses for similar tickets in future. Botpress can connect to an existing helpdesk while keeping tickets intact. Pricing is based on work performed rather than seats, with AI usage included.
