About Botpress
Botpress is an enterprise-grade AI agent platform built specifically for customer support. Rather than only answering questions, Botpress agents take real actions on tickets — processing refunds, updating account details, and running multi-step workflows — before escalating to a human with the full conversation history attached. The company has been building AI infrastructure for over 10 years and reports more than 750,000 AI agents built on its platform. Botpress positions itself against traditional helpdesk AI by resolving complex tickets instead of falling back to a human by default. It works either on top of an existing helpdesk (Zendesk, Intercom, and others) or as a standalone AI-native helpdesk called Botpress Desk.

Key features
- Action-taking agents:: Unlike chatbots that only answer, Botpress agents execute tasks such as refunds, order corrections, account updates, and proactive outreach end-to-end.
- Hot handoff to humans:: When escalation is needed, the agent passes the ticket along with conversation history, account details, and troubleshooting steps already attempted — no cold handoffs.
- Self-learning knowledge:: Every resolved ticket becomes permanent knowledge, so similar future tickets are handled automatically.
- No per-seat pricing:: Botpress charges by conversation, not by agent, and bundles AI usage into the conversation allotment with no separate token billing.
- Botpress Desk:: A full AI-native ticket management system for teams without an existing helpdesk, so there is no migration required.
