Open-source customer support platform with omnichannel inbox and AI
Self-hosted customer support platform centralizing live chat, email, social media, and messaging apps into one unified inbox with AI-powered automation.

Chatwoot is a self-hosted customer support platform built as an open-source alternative to Intercom, Zendesk, and Salesforce Service Cloud. Designed for businesses that need full control over customer data while delivering exceptional support experiences, Chatwoot consolidates conversations from live chat, email, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, Telegram, Line, and SMS into a single powerful inbox.
Captain, Chatwoot's AI agent, automates routine queries and reduces agent workload, letting teams focus on complex issues. Built-in collaboration tools—private notes, @mentions, labels, canned responses, and auto-assignment—streamline workflows. The platform supports multi-lingual conversations, custom views, business hours, and agent capacity management for scaling support operations.
A built-in Help Center Portal enables self-service through FAQs and guides, reducing repetitive tickets. Chatwoot integrates with Slack, Dialogflow, Shopify, Linear, and Google Translate, while comprehensive reports (CSAT, agent performance, conversation analytics) provide operational visibility. Deploy on Heroku, DigitalOcean Kubernetes, or your own infrastructure with full data sovereignty.
