Draft:Botpress

Canadian software company From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Botpress is a Canadian software company that develops software for building conversational AI applications and AI agents. The company originated as an open-source chatbot development project and later shifted its focus toward software for large language model (LLM)-based agents.[1][2]


History

Botpress was founded by Sylvain Perron and Justin Watson.[3] According to TechCrunch, Perron started the project after concluding that existing bot-building tools were insufficient for his needs, and the first version was released in 2017.[4]

In 2021, Botpress announced a US$15 million Series A funding round led by Decibel, with participation from Inovia Capital and other investors.[5][6] In 2025, BetaKit reported that the company had raised a further US$25 million in Series B financing led by Framework Venture Partners, bringing its total disclosed funding to US$45 million.[7]

Products

Botpress initially developed software for building and managing chatbots and other conversational applications for enterprise use.[8][9] By 2025, the company was described by BetaKit as focusing on software for building, deploying, and monitoring AI agents based on large language models.[10]
