What is Stackbear?

Stackbear is a no-code chatbot builder that lets you create and deploy AI chatbots without programming knowledge. You build bots using a visual interface, then deploy them across websites, messaging platforms, or customer support channels. The platform handles the technical setup; you focus on what your bot should do and how it should behave. The tool works by connecting to your own OpenAI API key, which means you control costs and data usage rather than paying Stackbear per message. Bots use GPT-3.5 by default but can be upgraded to GPT-4 for more complex tasks. Features include human handoff when a customer needs a real person, email integration, lead capture forms, and multi-language support. This makes it suitable for small businesses, customer service teams, and anyone needing conversational AI without hiring developers.
