 # Agentbase
 
-**Similar to WordPress, made for AI Native Applications** — Build, deploy, and manage AI-powered applications without the complexity.
+**Open-source, self-hosted platform for AI apps — WordPress for the AI era.**
 
-Agentbase is an open-source platform that brings the WordPress model to AI development: plugins, themes, a marketplace, and a hosted option — everything you need to launch AI products fast.
+Build, embed, and ship AI chatbots and assistants with WordPress-style plugins and themes, bring-your-own-key support for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini, and an embeddable widget for any website. A self-hosted, open-source alternative to closed AI-chat SaaS like Chatbase and Intercom Fin — your code, your keys, your infrastructure.

+The full Agentbase platform in this repository is **GPL-3.0 and self-hostable with Docker** — your code, your keys, your infrastructure, no vendor lock-in. [AgentaFlow](https://www.agentaflow.com) additionally operates a managed cloud and the public marketplace catalog as **optional** paid hosted services for teams who prefer not to run their own. Everything documented here runs entirely on infrastructure you control.

+### Deployment Targets
+
+Agentbase is plain Docker — deploy it on any cloud or bare metal, no lock-in:
+
+- **Docker Compose** (universal baseline) — production stack in [docker-compose.prod.yml](docker-compose.prod.yml)
+- **Azure** — reference infrastructure-as-code (Bicep) in [infra/](infra/), documented in [docs/azure/](docs/azure/)
+- **DigitalOcean / GCP** — guides planned ([contributions welcome](CONTRIBUTING.md))

 ## Features
 
 ### 🤖 AI Integration
