BottleCRM
BottleCRM delivers a self-hosted customer relationship management platform that unifies sales lead qualification, visual deal pipeline tracking, helpdesk ticketing, and client invoicing into one workspace. Sales representatives capture prospects through embeddable website forms or CSV imports, qualifying leads before converting them into synchronized account, contact, and opportunity records. Account executives manage visual Kanban deal boards with stage aging timers and weighted pipeline forecasting, dragging cards across qualification phases while preserving complete interaction timelines. Customer support teams handle incoming inquiries with multi-level ticket hierarchies, business-hours service level agreement clocks, automated escalations, approval workflows, and canned response macros. Billing managers generate professional quotes and invoices directly from won deals, applying customizable line-item tax rates and tracking payment statuses through customer self-service portals. Development teams connect autonomous AI agents and third-party software using personal access tokens against the documented REST API to automate data entry and workflow updates.

AgentDesk
Most AI chat integrations bolt an LLM onto a text box and call it customer support; AgentDesk builds the entire helpdesk around AI agents that handle first responses, escalate to humans when they cannot answer, and track follow-up work through integrated ticket workflows. Each AI agent binds to a specific LLM configuration, one or more knowledge bases, a set of callable Skills, and MCP tool integrations, creating specialized support personas for different product lines or departments. When a customer message arrives, the agent retrieves relevant FAQ entries and document chunks through RAG-powered vector search (Qdrant), then passes retrieved context through an Answerability Gate that determines whether the knowledge base can support a reliable answer; if not, it triggers a fallback response and recommends human handoff instead of hallucinating. Human agents pick up escalated conversations in a dedicated workspace that preserves the full AI conversation history, customer profile, conversation tags, and linked tickets, so they never start from scratch. The ticket system converts conversations into tracked work items with category assignment, status flows, progress notes, and team routing. An admin dashboard provides user management, role-based access control, team scheduling, and automatic conversation assignment rules. Model configuration supports any OpenAI-compatible provider, letting you wire in LLMs, embedding models, and reranking models with per-model context limits, timeout settings, and rate controls. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
Chattermate
ChatterMate gives your website an AI support agent that answers customer questions from your own documentation around the clock, and hands the conversation to a human the moment it gets complicated. Feed it PDFs, help pages and URLs, and it chunks and indexes them into a knowledge base that answers with citations instead of guesses. Pick your model from OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, xAI Grok, DeepSeek or Groq with your own key, or point it at a self-hosted Ollama or vLLM endpoint. Every conversation lands in one shared inbox across nine channels, including the website widget, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Slack and email, where your team can search, filter and reassign. A drag-and-drop workflow builder designs branching flows from AI response, condition and human transfer nodes, so routine questions resolve themselves and hard ones arrive with context. Chats can raise tickets that the AI triages and investigates, writing an auditable root-cause analysis, or open a Jira ticket without leaving the conversation. The native Shopify integration answers order, shipping and product questions from live store data, and customers can attach images, PDFs and documents directly in chat. Theme the widget to your brand, require token authentication for private chats, and connect MCP tools so the agent can look up orders, issue refunds and call your APIs mid-conversation. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
Feedlog
FeedLog gives SaaS teams an AI support agent, a shared inbox, and a feedback-to-roadmap loop in one open-source platform they can host themselves. Customers ask questions inside your product through an embeddable widget, and the agent answers from your help center articles, which you mark as approved knowledge before it can use them. When a question needs a person, the conversation moves into a shared inbox with its full context intact, so customers never repeat themselves and your team replies with email notifications keeping the thread alive. The same widget collects bug reports and feature ideas into feedback boards with posts, voting, comments, and status workflows, while similar-feedback detection finds duplicates and merges fragmented requests before they scatter your priorities. Prioritized work becomes a public roadmap showing what is planned, in progress, and completed, and shipped changes close the loop as changelog entries you can draft with AI from your update notes. Guest access, email and password, Google, GitHub, and SSO sign-in options decide how customers identify themselves, and human support guidance routes billing, account, and privacy requests straight to people. An MCP server connects AI assistants to your boards and articles so agents can query and manage feedback in natural language. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Znuny
Znuny turns every customer request into a ticket with an owner, a priority, a deadline, and a complete history, no matter whether it arrived by email, phone, web portal, API, or a monitoring alert. Agents work from a dashboard that lists open and new tickets, escalations, running processes, a seven-day created-versus-closed chart, upcoming events, and logged-in colleagues. Queues route tickets to the right team, and automation handles classification, escalation, notifications, and state changes, from simple email filters up to multi-step business processes. Service level agreements are tracked against every ticket, with alerts before deadlines pass and overdue items highlighted. Customers help themselves through a self-service portal and a searchable FAQ knowledge base, while agents opening a ticket immediately see who the customer is, which company they belong to, the services they are entitled to, and their full support history. Configuration items in the CMDB link assets and services to the tickets they affect, statistics and reports turn ticket data into decisions, and calendar appointments can create tickets on schedule. Administrators shape the system with over 2,000 configuration options, dynamic fields, and granular permissions. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
opendesk
When a customer emails your support address, starts a live chat, or asks a question from your help center, opendesk lands it in one shared ticket inbox where every change appears live for the whole team. Agents work a single queue where tickets carry status, priority, assignee, team, tags, and an SLA clock, with internal notes, merging, snoozing, and bulk edits for busy days. Customers chat through a widget that offers identity verification, typing indicators, and 14 languages, and each widget can route to its own team and topics. Support leads publish collections and articles to a public help center, set SLA targets per priority, run automation rules on ticket events, and read reports on volume, response and resolution times, breaches, and CSAT. Ollie, the built-in AI, uses that help center to answer chats, draft replies, summarize threads, triage tickets, and translate both ways, through any Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible provider including local models. Admins can switch it off. Replies leave from your own address through Google, Microsoft, or any SMTP server. Developers connect Linear, GitHub, Jira, Sentry, Slack, Stripe, and any MCP server, or build on the REST API, signed webhooks, and a realtime socket. Desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux and a native iPhone app keep agents reachable. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
Basjoo
Support tickets that repeat the same twelve questions all week can answer themselves when Basjoo turns your website and documents into an embeddable AI support agent you host yourself. Knowledge bases are built independently of agents, fed by crawling a single page or an entire site, or by uploading PDF, Word, Excel, HTML, and text files that are parsed into searchable chunks. Visitors chat through a widget added with one script tag, in a floating bubble, inline frame, or iframe, and answers stream back with source citations so people can verify what the bot claimed. A curated question and answer index is matched before retrieval, which means correcting a wrong answer takes effect immediately without reindexing the whole collection, and a keyword fallback mode can answer matched questions with no model key at all. When a conversation needs a person, operators watching the live session wall can take over, reply with saved macros, release the chat back to the bot, or resolve it, with business hours deciding when the bot is off duty. Lead capture forms, an unanswered question queue that groups repeats into future answers, thumbs feedback rolled into analytics, and signed outbound webhooks for seven event types round out the operator side. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Apache Answer
Graduated as an Apache Software Foundation Top-Level Project with over 15,500 GitHub stars and 100,000+ Docker Hub downloads, Apache Answer delivers the structured Q&A platform that Stack Overflow and Discourse popularized — fully self-hosted under Apache 2.0 with zero vendor lock-in. The Go backend with React frontend serves questions, answers, and knowledge articles with real-time Markdown preview using CommonMark syntax, inline @mentions to ping domain experts, and transparent revision history tracking every edit. Version 2.0 introduced AI workflows including an integrated AI assistant that helps draft and improve answers, a Model Context Protocol server for connecting AI agents to your knowledge base, API key management, and editor plugin support for extending the writing experience. Advanced search filters by tags, usernames, scores, and date ranges, while real-time suggestions surface relevant existing questions as users type to reduce duplicates. The reputation system rewards quality contributions with configurable privilege thresholds, and admin/moderator/user roles control access across the platform. A plugin architecture enables community-built extensions for third-party OAuth login, caching backends, search engines, and storage providers. Theming supports custom layouts, dark mode, and responsive design across devices, with content available in 15+ languages translated by the community. Bulk user import, email domain restrictions, and content access controls secure the platform for enterprise deployment. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
Django Helpdesk
Django Helpdesk is a complete support ticketing system that gives a small business one shared place to receive, assign, and resolve customer requests. Customers write to a support address and each incoming email becomes a ticket in the right queue, with replies threading back into the same conversation. Queues separate products, departments, or clients, and each queue can poll its own mailbox and carry its own settings. The staff dashboard surfaces unassigned tickets the moment they land, and agents claim work, reassign it, or hand it to a teammate. Every ticket holds its follow-up history, attachments, priority, due date, and custom fields your team adds for the details generic forms miss. Duplicate reports merge into a single ticket, and saved searches keep recurring questions one click away. Customers help themselves first through the built-in knowledgebase, then submit and track their own requests in a portal that hides internal notes. A REST API creates and updates tickets from other systems, and webhooks push ticket events into chat tools, CRMs, or billing scripts. An embeddable iframe form drops ticket submission into any existing website, and spam filtering keeps junk out of the queue.

Freescout
Unlimited agents, unlimited tickets, unlimited mailboxes, forever, on a $4 VPS - FreeScout's pricing inversion is why it became the most popular self-hosted Help Scout alternative, a PHP/Laravel help desk and shared inbox developed from scratch over eight years. The inbox deliberately behaves like Gmail or Outlook, so new support agents need close to zero training. The email-support core is genuinely complete: seamless IMAP/SMTP integration including modern Microsoft Exchange authentication, collision detection that warns when two agents open the same conversation, canned responses, auto-replies, internal notes, open tracking, starring, forwarding, merging, and moving conversations between mailboxes, phone-call logging, push notifications, and an auto-refreshing conversation list - plus screenshot pasting straight from the clipboard into replies. It's 100% mobile-friendly, fully screen-reader accessible, and translated into 28 languages. Beyond the core, an ecosystem of 100+ modules (mostly one-time $12-20 purchases) adds knowledge base, workflows with Gmail-filter-style automation rules, satisfaction ratings, time tracking, tags, custom fields, LDAP, Slack, WhatsApp and Telegram channels, and an API with webhooks - pay only for what your team needs. Web installer and updater included. AGPL-licensed.
Bytedesk
Support teams handling website live chat, email queues, and social messaging channels gain a unified, AI-assisted helpdesk in Bytedesk. Incoming conversations from web widgets, mobile SDKs, WhatsApp, WeChat, and email flow into a single agent workbench equipped with skill-group routing, VIP priority rules, and automatic human handoff. Customer-facing AI agents connect to Ollama, DeepSeek, OpenAI, Qwen, and Zhipu models to answer recurring inquiries using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over internal knowledge bases and FAQ libraries, complete with function calling and Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool execution. Complex escalations convert into SLA-tracked tickets with custom approval workflows, or transition directly into browser-based WebRTC video calls, screen sharing sessions, and FreeSwitch voice call center queues. Supervisors track real-time queue depth, bot resolution rates, token usage, automated AI quality scores, and customer satisfaction surveys from the analytics dashboard. Native client SDKs for Web, iOS, Android, Flutter, UniApp, WordPress, and WooCommerce make embedding customizable chat widgets straightforward across any storefront. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
LibreDesk
LibreDesk unifies live chat, email, and future channel integrations into a single agent inbox where every customer conversation converges regardless of origin, replacing per-seat-priced tools like Zendesk, Intercom, and Freshdesk with a zero-cost alternative that has surpassed 2,000 GitHub stars. Built on a Go backend with a Vue.js 3 and ShadcN UI frontend, it ships as a single binary requiring only PostgreSQL and Redis. The embeddable live chat widget drops onto any website with a snippet, while the AI assistant handles initial customer queries using answers grounded in your knowledge base before escalating to human agents when needed. Agent copilot drafts replies, summarizes conversation threads, and rewrites messages for tone adjustment directly within the inbox interface. Automation rules trigger on conversation events to tag, assign, and route tickets based on configurable conditions, while auto-assignment distributes workload by agent capacity or custom criteria. SLA management tracks response and resolution time targets with breach notifications, and automated CSAT surveys measure satisfaction after conversation closure. Macros save frequently sent responses as reusable templates that simultaneously set tags and assign conversations. Role-based access control provides granular per-action permissions for teams and individual agents, and SSO supports Google, Microsoft, and any OIDC provider. The HTTP/JSON API and webhook system enable custom integrations with external tools. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
phpMyFAQ
Publish the answers your team keeps repeating as a multilingual, searchable FAQ with phpMyFAQ, a knowledge base whose admin area handles writing, review, and permissions. Organize entries in nested categories that you rearrange by drag and drop, attach files, add tags and related FAQs, and let visitors leave comments. A WYSIWYG editor with an image manager writes each answer, a wiki-style revision history restores earlier versions, and a news system posts announcements. Full-text search covers every language, and optional Elasticsearch or OpenSearch backends handle larger collections. The interface covers more than 40 languages with right-to-left layouts, automatic content negotiation, and translated categories and entries. Privileges work per user and per group, so an editor can change an entry without being allowed to delete it, and categories can be limited to chosen readers. Sign in through LDAP, Active Directory, or Microsoft Entra ID, protect accounts with two-factor authentication, or try experimental passkeys. The dashboard charts 30 days of visits, lists inactive FAQs, and checks installed files against published hashes. Export entries to PDF, publish a dynamic sitemap, back up your content, and filter spam with built-in protections. Dark, light, and high-contrast themes keep the public site comfortable to read. Scripts and AI assistants reach the knowledge base through a REST API with an OpenAPI specification or an experimental MCP server, and plugins extend it. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MPL-2.0 licensed.
Frappe Helpdesk
With over 3,200 GitHub stars, 900 forks, and backing from the team behind ERPNext, Frappe Helpdesk delivers a modern, streamlined alternative to Zendesk and Freshdesk with unlimited agents, no per-seat pricing, and full source code access under the AGPL-3.0 license. Built on the Frappe Framework with a Python backend and Vue 3 frontend using Frappe UI, the application collects customer inquiries from email, web forms, and the customer portal into a centralized ticketing queue with complete conversation history and threaded replies. Customizable SLA rules define response and resolution timelines by ticket type or team, triggering automatic alerts and escalations when deadlines approach or are missed. Assignment rules route incoming tickets to the appropriate agents based on priority, issue type, or workload balancing, while manual reassignment and transfer between teams remains available at any time. The customer self-service portal lets users submit tickets, track status, and search a knowledge base of published help articles that reduce repetitive support requests. Agents access saved reply templates for consistent, rapid responses to common queries. Custom fields, configurable workflows, and saved views adapt the interface to match each organization's support process. Real-time updates via WebSocket push ticket changes instantly to all connected agents.

Botpress
Build, deploy, and monitor chatbots and LLM-powered agents on one open-source conversational AI platform: Botpress. Its Studio is a visual development environment: a drag-and-drop canvas arranges conversation logic with nodes for messages, questions, choices, and actions, while a built-in emulator simulates conversations for debugging before anything goes live. Agents ground their answers in a knowledge base assembled from uploaded documents, ingested websites, and past conversations via retrieval-augmented generation, and the LLM layer connects to multiple model providers - GPT-4, Claude, Mistral - with a configurable model strategy. An autonomous engine handles reasoning, tool orchestration, persistent memory across sessions, and sandboxed code execution, and custom code actions in TypeScript extend agents past prebuilt workflows. Over 100 integrations deploy the same bot to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and web chat, and connect it to HubSpot, Zendesk, Zapier, and arbitrary APIs and webhooks. Human handoff, conversation analytics, and quality monitoring cover production operation. Originating in 2017 from a Montreal team, the community edition is developed openly on GitHub.
