Encrypted transport
ZChat supports encrypted chat traffic between visitors, operators, and your server. Because the product is self-hosted, certificate ownership and HTTPS configuration stay aligned with the rest of your infrastructure rather than being hidden behind a hosted platform.
Protect visitor and operator traffic with the same encrypted transport standards you already use elsewhere.
Use corporate PKI, commercial certificates, or automated issuance workflows that match your environment.
Deploy with IIS, Kestrel, reverse proxies, or containerized setups while keeping traffic encrypted end to end.
Once HTTPS is configured in your hosting environment, ZChat uses secure transport for chat communication and real-time messaging.
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.
Deployment
Install on Windows or Linux, behind IIS or Nginx, in a VM, or in Docker if that fits your stack.
Commercial model
One-time purchase, perpetual license, and no monthly per-agent bill attached to growth.
AI Flexibility
Use Ollama locally or connect OpenAI and Anthropic with your own provider accounts.
