What is Rasa?

- build conversational agents
- define flows in a visual editor
- connect agents to external services
- test conversations
- deploy agents within your infrastructure
We file it under AI agent builders, the category of tools to build your own AI agents, and it also overlaps with customer service and website chatbots and developer tools. The category lists 20 verified tools on this site.
The publisher is Rasa Technologies, Inc., based in United States.
Who is it for?
It is mostly useful to these profiles: developers, customer support, and project managers. The need it covers is simple to state: build your own AI agents.
Rasa is a good candidate if:
- you want to try before paying
- you plan to connect it to your tools or automations through its API
- you must keep your data in Europe or on your own machine
Before deciding, run a trial on a real task and measure the time saved: it is the only criterion that really counts.
How much does Rasa cost?
Pricing model: freemium (limited free use, then paid). A free plan is offered, usually limited in volume or features.
The entry price is not shown publicly: you have to contact the publisher or create an account to see it.
To estimate what the same work would cost done directly with an AI model, use our API price calculator. Prices change often: always check the official site before subscribing.
Data and privacy
According to its privacy policy, data is processed on your device (local processing).
Local processing is the most favourable case: your files do not leave your machine for the features concerned.
No export feature is documented: keep a copy of your content elsewhere.
Three habits apply to every AI tool:
- turn off the use of your content for training if the option exists
- use a work account separate from your personal account
- review everything the tool produces before publishing or sending it
Platforms, languages and API
Rasa runs on: web browser and API.
Interface languages are not specified.
A public API lets you call it from your own programs or an automation tool, and plug it into an AI agent.
How we scored it
Our 48/100 score does not judge output quality: it measures what can be publicly verified about access to the tool, its openness and how far the publisher can be trusted.
| Criterion | Points | What counts |
|---|---|---|
| Access | 15/30 | free tier, published price, French interface |
| Openness | 10/30 | API, data export, open code |
| Trust | 23/40 | identified publisher, declared hosting, age, presence in reference lists |
