The core self-hosted runtime for production and evaluation.

Included

Web dashboard

Browser-based admin and operator control surface.

Included

Desktop agent flow

Native Windows workflow for teams that live in support.

AI providers

Use Ollama, OpenAI, or Anthropic on your own terms.

What to download

Included experience

Desktop agent console

A dedicated Windows workflow for teams that need notifications, presence handling, and a support console that feels like real software instead of another browser tab.

Included in the main installation package. Recommended for active support teams on Windows 10 or newer.

Included experience

Web dashboard

The browser dashboard covers chats, agents, departments, transcripts, visitor visibility, and configuration from any modern browser.

Included in the main installation package and ready for teams that want browser-based administration from day one.

What ships together

The download lets you evaluate the full operating model at once.

Instead of piecing together chat delivery, operator tooling, and AI separately, ZChat keeps the deployment and day-to-day workflow aligned inside one installable product.

Embeddable website widget

Add live chat to any website with a script tag and control branding, routing, and behavior yourself.

Real-time backend

Real-time transport powers live chat, presence, typing, and handoff without relying on a hosted vendor runtime.

Admin and operator surfaces

Manage teams, transcripts, settings, and conversations from the web console or desktop app.

AI-ready support layer

Connect Ollama for local inference or wire in OpenAI and Anthropic with existing provider accounts.

Choose your deployment path

Use the hosting model that already matches your environment.

ZChat is intentionally flexible so deployment can follow your operational reality instead of forcing a single hosting answer.

Windows Server

Ideal for teams already running IIS, SQL Server, and Microsoft-first operations.

Linux

Run behind Nginx or your preferred reverse proxy on modern Linux hosts.

Docker

Available when your team wants container packaging without making containers the only story.

Any cloud VM

Azure, AWS, or a VPS all work when you need hosted infrastructure that remains under your control.

Need help moving from evaluation to launch?

Owned customer support software

Deploy live chat on your own terms, not on someone else's pricing model.

ZChat gives you the installable server, web dashboard, website widget, and desktop agent tools in one self-hosted product you buy once and keep. Run it on infrastructure you trust and connect AI only if and how you want it.
