Why ProBot, not another chatbot platform?
Most chatbot builders are closed, hosted-only SaaS: their model, their key, their pricing, your data on their servers. ProBot is the opposite - your key, your data, free and open source.
| What matters | ProBot | Generic platform |
|---|---|---|
Bring your own LLM key Use your own Claude / OpenAI / Gemini / Azure key - no markup. | ||
Free to use No subscription. You only pay your own LLM provider, if anything. | ||
Open source (MIT) Read every line, fork it, audit the security yourself. | ||
Self-hostable Run your bot on your own infrastructure if you want. | ||
Keys never logged Envelope-encrypted at rest, used per request, and discarded server-side. | ||
GDPR data export + deletion Export everything, delete your account with a 7-day grace window. | ||
No telemetry / no ad tracking We don't sell data or run ads against your conversations. | ||
Embeddable widget Drop a one-line script onto your portfolio. |
“Generic platform” reflects the common default of closed-source, hosted-only chatbot builders. Your mileage with any specific product may vary - the point is what ProBot guarantees by design.
