ChatbotBuilder

ChatbotBuilder is an open-source, web-based chatbot creation platform built with React.js, GraphQL, and OpenAI/DeepSeek AI models. It allows users to design and deploy AI-powered chatbots tailored to various conversational scenarios. By defining chat scope, guidelines, and intents, AI models can be able to communicate with users intelligently and provide open-ended or customized responses.

✨ Highlights

• Platform-based: Each user can create their own chatbot after logging in.
• Supports OpenAI and DeepSeek models: Choose between OpenAI or DeepSeek for your chatbot's AI model.
• Customizable Guidelines and Intent Flow: Configure guidelines and intent flow tailored to different conversation scenarios.
• Intent Flow Configuration: Based on user queries, you can define different logic execution flows:
  • Functional Handler: Write custom code to handle tasks such as API requests, database queries, etc.
  • Non-Functional Handler: Provide non-functional responses, such as returning markdown content, formatted lists, images, etc.
  • Model Response Handler: Let the model freely respond while setting guidelines to restrict certain topics or content in the answers.
• Shareable Chatbots: Once created, chatbots can be shared via links and embedded in other applications.

🌟 Key Use Cases

ChatbotBuilder can be used in a wide range of scenarios, such as:

• Customer Support – Assist users with order inquiries, cancellations, and general support.
• Travel Assistant – Help users search for trips, book hotels, and get travel recommendations.
• Immigration Consultation – Provide guidance on visa applications, residency options, and document requirements.

You can even create a companion chatbot that is just for you to chat and counsel you.
