# Welcome

Hexabot is an open AI automation platform for building and running agentic workflows across channels.

Use it to automate conversations, tasks, and recurring operations in one place. Start with a simple workflow, then expand with actions, bindings, memory, and AI features.

### Why teams choose Hexabot

* **Open and self-hosted** — keep control of your infrastructure and data.
* **Workflow-first** — build automations for conversations, manual tasks, and schedules.
* **Extensible** — add actions, bindings, channels, and integrations as needs grow.
* **Cost control** — manage limits by plan without usage-based workflow metering.
