Typebot is a chatbot builder that you can self-host, allowing you to create advanced conversational bots visually and embed them on web and mobile applications.
Typebot addresses the need for non-technical users to build sophisticated chatbots without coding. It provides a visual builder with over 34 building blocks covering text and media bubbles, input fields like email and phone number, logic elements such as conditional branching and JavaScript scripting, and integrations with services like OpenAI, Google Sheets, Zapier, and Make.com. The tool lets you customize chatbot appearance through theming, share bots via custom domains or embedded widgets, and collect results with analytics showing completion rates and drop-off metrics.
Teams should choose Typebot if they need a self-hosted solution with no vendor lock-in and want to avoid iframe-based embeds that impact performance. The tool suits businesses building customer support bots, lead generation forms, or conversational surveys where visual customization and real-time result collection matter. It works well for developers who value API access and the ability to execute bots via HTTP requests alongside the visual builder for non-technical team members.
The project maintains steady development with regular bug fixes and feature additions. The codebase is built with TypeScript, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, indicating a modern web stack. The tool is distributed via Docker, making self-hosting straightforward. Documentation is available and actively maintained, supporting both cloud and self-hosted deployments. The project operates under a Fair Source model with an AGPLv3 license option for self-hosting.
