Make Agent Fast vs Botpress
Botpress is a builder platform for custom agents, with a visual studio, a TypeScript kit and many channel integrations, and AI usage billed on top of the plan. Make Agent Fast needs no building: it reads your site, you approve the knowledge, and the agent goes live.

An honest take
Choose Botpress when you have developers who want custom workflows, code and many channels, and a free tier to prototype on. Choose Make Agent Fast when nobody on the team wants to build flows: point it at your site, approve the knowledge, and the agent is live on your site and messengers.
