# Welcome

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

Use it to automate conversations, run tasks on demand, and schedule actions. Start simple, then expand with memory, integrations, and reusable building blocks.

### Why teams choose Hexabot

* **AI sovereignty** — run Hexabot on your own infrastructure. Keep models, workflows, memory, and customer data under your control.
* **Self-hosted** — integrate fully with your internal systems and apps. No extra fees apply based on workflow execution volume.
* **Data privacy and compliance** — support GDPR and internal requirements with self-managed storage, audit trails, and clear deployment choices.
* **Cost control** — license keys define activation limits, user quotas, workflow quotas, and plan capacity. Hexabot does not meter message volume or workflow executions.
