Developer Experience
Built for developers
who ship fast
We obsess over API ergonomics so you can focus on your product. Every SDK is designed to be intuitive, predictable, and delightful.
Complexity Hidden Away
Background tasks, pause and resume on flaky mobile networks, retries, queuing - all handled for you so you can focus on your product.
Monitoring and Tracing
Built-in observability with conversation tracing and detailed reports. Know exactly what your agents are doing and why.
Tiny Footprint
Just a few KB of actual dependencies and minimal code surface. Less code means fewer vulnerabilities and a smaller attack surface.
Extremely Fast
Optimized from the ground up for speed. Minimal overhead, zero bloat, and instant startup times even in serverless environments.
Runs Everywhere
Dedicated servers, edge functions, embedded devices, mobile apps. Deploy wherever your code runs without compatibility headaches.
Open Source
Every SDK is open source on GitHub. Inspect the code, contribute, and build with complete transparency.
Architecture
Where the SDK fits
The SDKs are a thin, typed layer between your code and the ChatBotKit platform. Everything runs through a single API with built-in streaming.
Skip the Busywork, Ship the Product
Building conversational AI from scratch means months of infrastructure before your first customer even signs up. The ChatBotKit SDK collapses that timeline.
of infrastructure work replaced by a single SDK install
of glue code you never have to write, test, or maintain
saved on monitoring, scaling, and conversation management
time to production vs. building from raw LLM APIs
The Real Cost of DIY
All that work before your first customer
Without an SDK, you are building LLM wrappers, conversation state machines, streaming pipelines, monitoring dashboards, and deployment scripts. That is months of engineering before you even get to your product.
- Weeks wiring up LLM APIs, prompt routing, token budgeting, and retry logic
- Custom streaming infrastructure for real-time UIs that you have to maintain forever
- Separate integration code for every messaging platform your customers use
- Building your own conversation logging, analytics, and agent monitoring from zero
- Security audits, content moderation, and compliance work piled on top of everything else
- All of this before a single paying customer even sees your product
- npm install and you have conversations, agents, datasets, tools, and streaming in one package
- Streaming, retries, token management, and error recovery handled by the SDK automatically
- Deploy to Slack, WhatsApp, web widget, or any channel with a single integration call
- Built-in analytics, full conversation logs, and agent monitoring from the first request
- Content moderation, PII filtering, and GDPR compliance baked into every API call
- Ship your product this week, not next quarter
FAQs
What languages and frameworks do the SDKs support?
ChatBotKit ships SDKs for Node.js, React, Next.js, and Go, plus a CLI and a Terraform provider for infrastructure-as-code. The Agent SDK adds autonomous agent capabilities on top of any runtime. Between them you can build server-side APIs, client-side chat UIs, full-stack apps, and production infrastructure from a single toolchain.
What is the Agent SDK?
The Agent SDK lets you build autonomous agents that can create their own skills, call tools, manage conversations, and run background tasks. It is the foundation for multi-agent architectures, self-learning systems, and any workflow where the AI needs to act, not just respond.
How do I get started?
Install the SDK with
npm install @chatbotkit/sdk, grab your API key from the ChatBotKit dashboard, and you have conversations, bots, datasets, skills, and streaming in one package. The quickstart guide walks you through your first agent in under five minutes.Can I build a commercial product with these SDKs?
Yes. The SDKs are designed for production SaaS products. Teams are shipping legal research platforms, white-label AI suites, autonomous sales agencies, and more. The SDKs are open-source under a permissive license, so you can build and sell without restrictions.
What is MCP and how does it work with the SDKs?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets your agents connect to external tool servers. The SDKs support MCP natively, so you can wire up integrations like GitHub, Slack, HubSpot, or your own internal APIs as skillsets that agents discover and use at runtime.
How does streaming work?
The SDKs handle streaming end-to-end. Server-side SDKs produce streaming responses from the ChatBotKit API, and the React SDK consumes them with built-in hooks. Token delivery, error recovery, and connection management are handled automatically.
Can I deploy agents to multiple channels?
Yes. A single bot can be deployed to Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, a web widget, or any custom channel with one integration call. The SDK handles message routing, session management, and channel-specific formatting so you write your logic once.
What about security and compliance?
The platform includes content moderation, PII filtering, and GDPR-compliant data handling on every API call. OAuth support lets you secure MCP integrations and external APIs with managed credentials. All conversation data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
How do I manage infrastructure with Terraform?
The ChatBotKit Terraform provider lets you define bots, datasets, skillsets, integrations, and secrets as code. You can version-control your entire agent infrastructure, review changes in pull requests, and deploy across environments with standard Terraform workflows.
