Botpress

Botpress is an AI agent platform for customer support that goes beyond answering FAQs: it takes real actions such as approving a refund, correcting an address or updating account details. The company has spent about ten years building conversational software and offers its own helpdesk, Botpress Desk.

What is Botpress used for?

It automates the part of support that usually ends up with a human agent. Botpress agents coordinate several systems in one motion: they update the record, trigger the next step and close the loop. When a ticket needs human judgment, they do a hot handoff with the full history and the troubleshooting already attempted.

Which products does Botpress include?

• Botpress Desk: an AI helpdesk for complex support.
• Botpress Studio: a visual builder for agents.
• Botpress ADK: a kit for developers who prefer code.
• Public help center with a custom domain.
• Whitelabel webchat and channels such as WhatsApp.

How does Botpress learn from each case?

Every resolution becomes permanent knowledge, so similar tickets are handled automatically next time. Escalation rules and fallback logic define exactly when AI acts and when your team steps in, and agents can reach out proactively, for example when a renewal is coming.

Is Botpress safe for businesses?

The platform is SOC 2 certified, GDPR compliant and penetration tested by KPMG. It runs on AWS with automatic scaling and lets higher tiers define custom data retention and residency policies.
