Build customer-facing AI agents for support, sales, and product guidance
Write instructions in plain language, choose a model, set guardrails, and connect the knowledge the agent is allowed to use.
Let agents look up orders, fetch invoices, create tickets, or trigger workflows, and reply with interactive components instead of plain text.
Publish one agent to a website chat bubble, help center, phone line, WhatsApp, email, and Slack without rebuilding it per channel.
Humans and agents work from the same conversation view, with context and history preserved when an issue escalates.
Run and build with open AI models locally or in the cloud
Install once and pull open-weight models by name; Ollama handles weights, quantization and versioning for you.
A built-in server exposes a straightforward REST API, so scripts, editors and agents can talk to local models with minimal setup.
Route requests to hosted open models when your laptop cannot hold the checkpoint you need, with per-token pricing and concurrency tiers.
Access families such as Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma, Mistral and gpt-oss from a single interface.
