Why it ranks #5
Roughly 10.2k GitHub stars and 3.2k forks plus open-source chatbot-roundup coverage make it a well-adopted visual builder, but its core strength is guided forms rather than autonomous support.Here is the catch
not designed as an autonomous support agent
no native full helpdesk or agent inbox
complex branching flows become difficult to maintain
Does this well
excellent for deterministic guided conversations
polished builder and embeddable experience
self-hostable with a large community
