No-code simplicity meets developer power: why Taros is modular by design

Start with clicks, scale with code. Taros gives you both no-code simplicity and full developer control when you need it.

Most AI platforms force you to choose: either click-and-drag simplicity that hits a wall when you need customization, or developer-first complexity that requires a CS degree to get started.

We think that's a false choice.

No-code that doesn't hit walls

Want to get started without writing a single line of code? Perfect.

Drag and drop setup. Upload your documents, connect your website, customize your bot's personality – all through our visual interface.

Plug-and-play integrations. Connect to Slack, Discord, or your website with one click. No APIs to figure out, no webhooks to configure.

Visual workflow builder. Set up escalation rules, automated responses, and customer routing without touching code.

Most customers get their first AI assistant running in under 10 minutes using just the dashboard.

But when you need more...

That same no-code platform is built on a powerful API foundation. When you outgrow the visual interface, you don't have to start over.

Everything is API-first. Every button click in our dashboard maps to an API call. Want to automate assistant creation? There's an API for that.

SDK for every language. JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP – whatever you're comfortable with.

Webhook-driven architecture. Integrate with any system that can send HTTP requests.

4  knowledge_base: 'kb_123',
5  personality: 'friendly_professional',
6  integrations: ['slack', 'website', 'api']

11  channels: ['web', 'slack', 'teams'],
12  customDomain: 'support.yourcompany.com'
13});

The best of both worlds

Start simple, scale complex. Begin with our no-code interface, then add custom logic through APIs as your needs grow.

Team-friendly. Your marketing team can manage content and responses, while developers handle custom integrations and workflows.

No vendor lock-in. Your assistant configurations are just JSON. Export them, version control them, migrate them – your choice.

Modular integrations

Whether you're clicking or coding, Taros integrations are designed to be mix-and-match:

Knowledge sources: Upload files through dashboard, or connect to your CMS, wiki, or database through API.

Communication channels: One-click setup for common platforms, or build custom integrations for proprietary systems.

Authentication: OAuth providers through dashboard, or custom auth flows through API.

Workflows: Visual rules for simple cases, or complex business logic through webhooks and custom code.

Developer experience that doesn't suck

Local development environment. Test your integrations locally before deploying.

Real-time debugging. See exactly what your assistant is thinking, including API calls and decision logic.

Comprehensive docs. Whether you're clicking buttons or writing code, we've got guides that actually help.

Sandbox environment. Experiment without affecting production systems.

When to use what

  • Setting up your first assistant
  • Managing content and training data
  • Configuring standard integrations
  • Making quick updates and tweaks
  • Automating assistant management
  • Building custom integrations
  • Implementing complex business logic
  • Scaling across multiple assistants or teams
  • You have non-technical team members who need to manage content
  • You need custom functionality alongside standard features
  • You're building a product that includes AI support as a feature

The philosophy

We believe the best tools are like onions – simple on the surface, with layers of complexity available when you need them.

You shouldn't need a computer science degree to set up customer support AI. But you also shouldn't hit artificial limitations when your business grows.

Start with clicks. Scale with code. Get the best of both worlds.

That's the Taros way.
