Hello!

Hexabot is an open source conversational AI builder that allows you to create your own chatbot or virtual assistant. It’s highly customizable, comes with a visual editor for easy setup, and can integrate with different LLM models. You can check out our repo on GitHub if you like this project: https://github.com/hexastack/hexabot

I recently recorded a proof of concept video on how to integrate any open source LLM (Large Language Model) using Ollama into a WordPress website : https://youtu.be/hyJW6JGCga4

    Is there any website that actually has a good and useful chatbot? To me they seem to be all just unnecessary bloat and distracting annoyances.

      I think that chatbots are like any other software, it depends on who creates it and to which end. If we take the example of MidJourney, we can consider it as a useful software.

        Huh? Midjourney is an image generation LLM, no? As far as I understood the topic, this is about a tool that helps you create little chatbot assistants for your website. Like those annoying little pop-up chat windows in the corner trying to greet you, asking you how they can help you.

          That’s not the case, with Hexabot you can actually create something similar to MidJourney.

            Are we talking about the actual model or a frontend that just pastes / parses your words into the prompts for image generation?

              Both, cause in Hexabot you can build your Ai models for image generation or any other model. You can consider it as a framework for developing a conversational AI that can serve a basic customer support chatbot or something like notebooklm. In the GitHub project, check the “nlu” folder. Also check the extensions library https://hexabot.ai/extensions. In short, you can extends to be beyond just a website chatbot.

    I’d love to have a chatbot framework like this that can talk to me via the Matrix chat protocol. I’ve pretty much homed in on that (plus bridges) for my own private use. Yet all I ever find are chatbots for Discord, websites etc.

        Thanks. I’m not a JS developer but I’ll have a look at it. Btw the CONTRIBUTING.md in the last link doesn’t work. And the amendments to the AGPL kind of contradict each other. IMO you can’t not use the name Hexabot and be forced to use it at the same time. (And my personal opinion is you shouldn’t modify licences anyways, since that mainly makes things incompatible and is just asking for legal troubles for anyone using a piece of software.) But I’m not a lawyer. Adding these things is mentioned in 7B, C and 7E of the AGPL. So you might be right and I’m wrong.
