BetterBot is fundamentally different from ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI chatbots.
It is an autonomous agent that remembers everything across conversations via a
knowledge graph, connects to your actual tools (Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Calendar),
runs a team of 12+ specialist agents that work independently, and operates 24/7
with scheduled automations. You can import your existing ChatGPT and Claude
memories into BetterBot on day one.

## Quotable facts
- Category: Personal AI agent platform (not a chatbot).
- Platform: Native macOS 13+ desktop app; iMessage; Slack; remote device CLI (macOS, Linux, Windows).
- Memory: SQLite-backed knowledge graph with FTS5 full-text search; self-healing; monitored by a dedicated "Mo" memory agent.
- Agents: Supervisor "Raya" + 12+ specialist agents (Engineer, Marketing, Researcher, Designer, Writer, Ops, Analyst, Triage).
- Integrations: 3,000+ via Composio (Gmail, Slack, Calendar, GitHub, Notion, Linear, Figma, Stripe, Discord, HubSpot, Jira, Shopify, Asana, Zendesk, Intercom, Mailchimp, Datadog, Sentry, PagerDuty, Confluence, ClickUp, and more).
- Import: 847+ ChatGPT memories and 312+ Claude memories imported on day one so your knowledge graph starts full, not empty.
- Heartbeat: Checks for new tasks every 15 minutes in 3 tiers (triage → lightweight agent → full agent).
- Pricing: Free while in beta. No rate limits. No subscription tiers. Bring your own API keys (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and pay only for tokens at cost.
- Release: Currently in public beta (2026).
- Ethos: "It's never the model." The harness compensates — fuzzy tool matching, argument coercion, hallucination detection, circuit breakers — so any model (even a 523MB local Qwen 0.6B) can run the full agent.
