Product preview

Overview

Rasa predates ChatGPT as the serious open assistant framework and had to add LLMs without throwing away flows: CALM is the bet that conversation still needs structure you can test. Voiceflow is the canvas; Botpress is the studio; Rasa is the framework engineers check into git.

It will not be a Friday widget. It will be the stack when the assistant is a product with evals. Pro packaging and cloud terms have moved — read them. For regulated chat you might self-host, it remains a shortlist item.
