Quick Question: Is botpress completely free if you self host? I’m confused about the advantages of self hosting if there is still a 1000 message limit until you need to pay per message.

Hello!

And on the cloud version, I am confused about your pricing as there is nothing shown on the page. Also, can a user who is chatting with the bot send a url, and the bot then reads the content from that link and can provide content back when prompted? That way, there is only 1 bot, and for each conversation, it can be prompted and trained on a dynamic link. Hopefully, I am explaining it ok.

Regarding pricing: we're changing our pricing and should be able to share it very soon.

ok great but can it be fed into the knowledge base temporarily I read that you are only allowed 200 links per chatbot, I expect to feed it 1000+ links. Maybe the bot can use the knowledge temporarily or is there a way to get a knowledge base that can hold more than 1000+ links?

Where did you see the 200 links per chatbot?

"All chatbots have a limit of 5000 vectors - which is the equivalent to approximately 200 blog articles or 1000 PDF pages." https://botpress.com/docs/cloud/studio/knowledge-base/

thanks.

My idea is to start a conversation with the chatbot, feed it the link to train it on. Then start a new conversation with the same bot and feed it a different link to train it on. That way I can isolate the knowledge base for each conversation without having to duplicate the same chatbot itself and only uploading 1 link per chatbot
