Deploy with Docker Compose
Follow the documented application, database, authentication, and channel setup.
Use case
Run answerLoops on your infrastructure
Deploy the application and channel services yourself. Choose your model configuration and take responsibility for database operations, backups, and updates.
Choose model services
Use a supported provider or configure a compatible endpoint, including a local chat model.
Understand data processing
External model and channel services still receive the content needed to perform their functions. Check chat and embedding configuration separately.
Keep the source available
Inspect and modify the AGPL-3.0 code in accordance with its license.

Setup questions
Is there a subscription fee?
The self-hosted edition has no answerLoops subscription fee. Infrastructure and model-provider costs are your responsibility.
Does self-hosting keep all data local?
No. The application runs on your infrastructure, but external channel platforms and configured model services process relevant content. Review your service choices against your requirements.
Get started
Try it with the questions your team gets every week
Add a few support articles and connect a channel, then review the replies before deciding what to automate.
Start a 14-day trial
A card is required. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the subscription charge.
