In their own words
OpenServe
OpenServe is an open-source AI customer support platform that answers questions using a business’s documentation. Its retrieval-based answers include citations so customers can check the sources. The knowledge base accepts PDFs, websites, and FAQs, which it chunks and embeds automatically. OpenServe supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and local models, and customers can bring their own API keys. A chat widget can be added to a website with one script tag and customized to match a brand. The connector marketplace lists Shopify, Zendesk, and e-conomic, and customers can build connectors with the SDK. Deployment is available through Docker Compose self-hosting or a hosted option where OpenServe handles infrastructure, updates, and scaling. The service describes GDPR by design, EU-hosted infrastructure, encryption at rest, and a full audit trail. The Self-Hosted plan lists unlimited conversations and community support; hosted plans list no conversation limit and priority support. OpenServe says it is MIT licensed and built in Denmark.
