What works the same as ManyChat

  • Build flows with a visual builder that has conditions, delays and actions.
  • Start a flow from keywords, comments on a post, story mentions and replies.
  • Answer every conversation from one shared inbox, and take over from the automation by hand.
  • Keep contacts with tags, custom fields and segments.
  • Run drip sequences and broadcasts to a chosen audience.

What is missing

  • It does not work with TikTok, and has no built-in AI features.
  • You must create your own developer app for Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp.
  • There is also a hosted version, but it is not free: only the first 25 contacts a month are.

How to get started

  1. There is no installer. Click Download to open the project page and run it on your own server.
  2. To try it on your computer, start it with Docker and open it in your browser.
  3. Sign up on the first screen: the first account gets its own organization and workspace.
  4. To publish it, use Docker Compose on a server, or one click on Railway with an S3-compatible bucket.
