The CBK.AI Platform Is Now Open Source

The CBK.AI platform is now open source under the Apache License 2.0, giving developers control over how they run, modify, and extend their AI infrastructure.

We are betting on a future where you control the AI infrastructure you depend on. That is why the CBK.AI platform is now open source on GitHub under the Apache License 2.0.

The public repository contains the platform's agent builder and runtime, multi-provider model gateway, knowledge ingestion and retrieval, more than 200 typed integrations, MCP and API tooling, messaging channels, observability, and replaceable infrastructure modules. You can inspect how the system works, adapt it to your requirements, contribute improvements, and deploy it on infrastructure you control.

Run the Platform Yourself

The prebuilt community stack makes it possible to start the platform without checking out or compiling the source:

docker compose -f oci://ghcr.io/chatbotkit/platform-community:latest up

Open http://localhost:3000 and follow the sign-in instructions in the container logs. The repository also includes guidance for local development, deployment, and contributing.

Licensed for Real-World Use

Apache 2.0 is a permissive open-source license. It gives individuals and organizations room to use, modify, and distribute the platform, including as part of commercial products, subject to the license terms. Full details, including the small number of independently licensed components, are documented in the repository's licensing guide.

The managed CBK.AI service remains available for teams that want us to operate the platform for them. Open source adds another path: run it anywhere, change it, and make it yours.

Read the original announcement, explore the source code, and tell us what you build.
