Which AI platforms can run it

PlatformStatusWhy
Claude (incl. Claude Code) Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
OpenAI Codex Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
Google Antigravity Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
ChatGPT Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
Gemini Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
Perplexity Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).

Computed from the MCP and API steps only: "Confirmed" needs the tool's docs to name the platform and the platform to support the connection. Browser, upload and human steps work from any platform.

What we checked (2026-10-17)

  • Botpress knowledge bases can be built from websites, documents and tables. The bot references them when answering.
  • Botpress’s official HubSpot integration can create, update and search contacts, work with deals and leads, and create support tickets from a conversation. No Make step is needed for the hand-off.
  • Botpress MCP. Botpress’s MCP server is part of its developer kit and connects coding tools to your local dev server. It isn’t needed for this workflow.
  • Pricing. Botpress’s free plan includes 100 conversations, and Plus is $150 a month billed annually. HubSpot is $0 for up to two users.

Set it up

  1. Add your help center pages as a knowledge base source and test 20 real questions.
  2. Install the HubSpot integration and add a step that creates a ticket, with the transcript and the visitor’s email, when the bot can’t answer or the visitor asks for a person.
  3. Tell visitors when they’re talking to a bot and when a person will reply.
  4. Each week, read the tickets and a sample of resolved chats, and fix wrong answers in the help content.
