ChatbotX puts agents in open ManyChat alternative

ChatbotX is a self-hosted, open-source omnichannel chatbot and marketing automation platform featured in Eric Michaud’s open-source repository roundup. It combines visual flows, a unified inbox, broadcasts, channel integrations, and external AI agent support.

// ANALYSIS

ChatbotX’s strongest pitch is control: developers get ManyChat-style automation without surrendering deployment, data, or extensibility to a hosted platform.

–Supports WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, TikTok, Zalo, email, webchat, APIs, and more
–External agent support broadens the platform beyond rigid rule-based chatbot flows
–Docker Compose, CLI, public APIs, MCP, and n8n integration make it unusually developer-oriented
–Self-hosting adds flexibility but also shifts operations, channel credentials, upgrades, and reliability onto the user
–The MIT-licensed community edition is compelling for agencies and teams building white-label customer-engagement systems

Odyssey-3 powers robots across embodiments

Odyssey has previewed Odyssey-3, a single foundation world model designed to learn actionable physics and operate across diverse mechanical embodiments, including robot arms, cars, drones, and virtual worlds. By capturing universal spatial and causal dynamics within a shared representation, the model allows different robotic form factors to acquire competent control policies with only a few hours of embodiment-specific experience, dramatically lowering the data barrier for real-world robotics deployment.
