Botpress

Botpress is a builder for AI chat agents. You set up an agent, give it your content, and put it on your site as a chat widget. It's a builder, not a plug-in, so expect to spend some time setting it up.

Small businesses that want a free AI chatbot on their site and don't mind some setup.

Skip it if you want something you can switch on in ten minutes; Tidio is quicker to set up.
