Botpress Integration

Botpress is an open-source chatbot building platform that uses AI for natural language understanding, conversation management, and knowledge base integration. It powers customer support bots, internal assistants, and interactive experiences.

Botpress supports custom LLM providers for its AI features.

Prerequisites

An LLM API account with an API key
Botpress installed or accessible

Setup

Get Your LLM API Key

Log in to your LLM API dashboard
Click Create Key to Start
Copy your new API key immediately — it will only be shown once
Store the key securely (e.g., in a password manager or .env file)

LLM API is an OpenAI-compatible gateway that gives you access to dozens of AI models through a single API key and endpoint.

Configure LLM API in Botpress

Open your Botpress Studio.
Navigate to Integration Settings → LLM.
Select "OpenAI" or "Custom" provider.
Enter:
- API Key: paste the key you copied from app.llmapi.ai/api-keys
- Base URL: https://api.llmapi.ai/v1
Select the model.
Click "Save".

Test the Integration

Verify that Botpress can successfully communicate with LLM API by sending a test request. All requests will now be routed through LLM API.

Botpress' AI features like knowledge answering and intent classification work with LLM API models.

Benefits of Using LLM API with Botpress

Multi-Provider Access: Use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more through a single API
Cost Control: Track and limit your AI spending with detailed usage analytics
Unified Billing: One account for all providers instead of managing multiple API keys
Caching: Reduce costs with response caching for repeated requests
