Each bot has a deployment mode, set in Settings → Deployment. It decides where the chat runtime lives.

​
Managed (default)

The bot is served entirely by pro-bot.dev:
  • Public chat at pro-bot.dev/u/<username>/chat
  • One-line embed widget
  • Nothing to deploy or maintain
This is the right choice for almost everyone. See Managed hosting.

​
Self-hosted

You run the tiny probot-bot runtime on your own infrastructure; it talks to the ProBot platform over a versioned API using a bot token you mint in the dashboard. Your LLM key lives in your runtime and never touches the platform. Switching to self-hosted:
  1. Set the mode to Self-hosted.
  2. Generate a token (shown once - copy it).
  3. Deploy probot-bot with that token. See Self-hosting your bot.
Revoke the token any time to instantly cut the runtime off.
