BrightBean Chat is a self-hosted chat automation platform that builds visual flows once and runs them across Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, SMS, and email, so your audience automations live on your server instead of a per-contact subscription. You drag conditions, delays, randomizers, data collection, and message nodes onto a canvas, test the draft while the live version keeps running, then set it live with every save versioned. Flows start from keywords, comment-to-DM triggers, story mentions and replies, follows, ref URLs, QR codes, or calls to the public API. Every channel lands in one shared inbox where teammates assign conversations, label them, schedule replies, and take over from the bot, which pauses the automation for that contact. Contacts carry custom fields, tags, and segments that stay unified across channels, and imports and exports keep the list portable. Broadcasts and multi-step drip sequences check opt-outs and each platform's 24-hour messaging window before sending, pace themselves per channel, and show exactly who will receive a message and who is skipped. Per-node counters track sent, delivered, failed, and clicked, while a bearer-authenticated REST API and signed webhooks hand leads to Make, Zapier, n8n, or your own systems. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
