24 alternatives to Botacts

Most apps on your phone could be an agent you chat with or talk to. But where are they? I put together a phonebook of these AI bots. Still scraping, will add more as we go. Know one that should be listed? There's a suggest form. Stack is Astro + Cloudflare to keep it simple. Cala.ai for scraping (free credits from a hackathon)
