Hey there — consider yourself lucky! You've just found a hidden gem in AI automation and no-code development. I'm Jeremiah, and I build AI automation systems, n8n & Make workflows, GoHighLevel pipelines, and AI chatbots that solve real business problems — not fragile demos. Most businesses don't have a tech problem. They have a systems problem — disconnected tools, manual workflows, and AI experiments that never leave the demo stage. That's exactly where I come in. With 3,000+ hours invested into my craft, I turn messy, manual operations into clean automated systems your team can actually rely on. What I build: ✅ AI Automation & AI Agents — Custom agents and multi-step workflows that connect your tools, trigger actions, and handle repetitive work. Built with n8n, Make, OpenAI, and Claude, with proper error handling and documentation. ✅ GoHighLevel (GHL) Automation — Pipeline management, lead nurturing, SMS/email triggers, sub-account setup, snapshots, and CRM integrations. Systems your team can maintain. ✅ n8n & Make Workflow Automation — Reliable multi-step automations connecting CRMs, spreadsheets, databases, and APIs — with fallback logic, not fragile one-trick pipelines. ✅ AI Chatbots — Conversational assistants and voice/chat agents built in Voiceflow and Botpress, connected to your business data for support, lead qualification, and onboarding. ✅ No-Code SaaS & Bubble Development — Full application builds: SaaS platforms, marketplaces, internal tools, and dashboards with clean database structure, user roles, and API integrations. Results clients get: — Manual workflows replaced with intelligent n8n and Make automation — GoHighLevel pipelines built from scratch or fully restructured — AI agents handling lead qualification, support, and reporting — Disconnected CRM, email, and data tools unified into one system — Hours of manual work reduced to minutes My stack: n8n · Make · GoHighLevel · OpenAI · Anthropic Claude · Voiceflow · Botpress · Bubble · Supabase · Airtable · Zapier · REST APIs · Webhooks I work best with founders, agencies, and businesses that are tired of repetitive manual work and want systems that are documented, maintainable, and built to last. I don't just build — I think through the architecture, connect the tools, test the flows, and hand off work you can actually understand and grow from. Ready to turn your manual operations into automated systems? Drop me a message and let's build something that works. See you soon!

I 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗨𝗟𝗧 first, then 𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗘. If you already know 𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚 what needs to be automated and how, we can jump straight into execution. But in most cases, that’s not where the real value lies.

Botpress developer hiring guide

Botpress developers specialize in building conversational AI agents that automate customer interactions, streamline support workflows, and enhance user engagement across industries. These professionals combine expertise in natural language processing, API integration, and bot architecture to deliver intelligent solutions tailored to specific business needs.

What does a Botpress developer do?

A Botpress developer builds and maintains AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants using the Botpress platform. Botpress is an open-source conversational AI platform that combines a visual flow builder, natural language understanding engine, and modular architecture to create sophisticated bot experiences. These professionals work across industries — from e-commerce and healthcare to finance and customer service — to create conversational experiences that handle inquiries, automate repetitive tasks, and integrate with existing business systems.

These are typical activities for Botpress developers:

  • Design conversation flows and decision logic using Botpress Studio's visual builder and autonomous engine

  • Configure natural language understanding (NLU) for accurate intent recognition, entity extraction, and multilanguage support

  • Integrate chatbots with messaging channels like web chat, WhatsApp, Slack, and Facebook Messenger

  • Connect bots to external APIs, CRMs, databases, and third-party tools for seamless data exchange

  • Develop custom modules and extensions for specialized business requirements, such as appointment scheduling or order tracking

  • Build and maintain knowledge bases that allow bots to provide contextually accurate, data-driven responses

  • Monitor bot performance, analyze conversation data, and optimize user experiences based on real-world interactions

On Upwork, Botpress developers often help businesses automate customer support, build lead qualification bots, and create internal helpdesk assistants that reduce response times and operational costs.

How to hire a Botpress developer on Upwork

Finding the right Botpress developer starts with a clear project scope and a structured hiring process. Whether you're building a simple FAQ bot or a multichannel AI agent with custom integrations, these four steps will help you connect with qualified professionals on Upwork.

Step 1: Post a job

Start by defining your project requirements, including the type of chatbot you need, your preferred messaging channels, and any integration requirements. A detailed job post attracts the right candidates and sets clear expectations from the start.

  • Skim this AI developer job description for ideas 

  • Specify whether you need experience with Botpress Studio, NLU configuration, API integration, or specific messaging channels

  • Specify the type of Botpress solution you need, such as a customer support chatbot, AI agent, internal knowledge assistant, lead-generation bot, or workflow automation tool

  • Describe any required integrations with CRMs, help desks, databases, APIs, e-commerce platforms, or messaging channels such as WhatsApp, Slack, Teams, or web chat

  • Clarify whether the project involves knowledge-base ingestion, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), LLM integration, multilingual support, or human handoff workflows

  • Share your expectations for project timeline and budget

  • Include screening questions to quickly identify candidates with relevant expertise

Use the Job Post Generator, powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI, to create a tailored job post. Describe your needs in a few sentences, and Uma will draft a post for Botpress developers that you can review and customize. 

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Review proposals from Botpress developers and narrow your list based on relevant experience, portfolio quality, and client feedback.

  • Uma can conduct instant video interviews and provide shortlists of candidates with side-by-side comparisons to help you make informed decisions

  • Look for developers with experience in conversational AI, NLU training, and multichannel deployments.

  • Check ratings, Job Success Score, client feedback, and talent badges, like Top Rated and Expert-Vetted, for quality signals

  • Review portfolio examples of deployed Botpress agents, customer support bots, knowledge assistants, or AI-powered workflow automation projects

  • Evaluate experience with LLM integrations, knowledge-base configuration, conversational design, and retrieval systems rather than chatbot development alone

  • Look for examples of successful deployments across multiple channels, including web chat, messaging platforms, customer support systems, or internal business applications.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Connect with your top candidates to assess their technical skills, communication style, and approach to problem-solving.

  • Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork Messages, with an immediate transcript and summary provided after each interview

  • Draw from these AI developer interview questions for ideas on content and structure 

  • Inquire about their experience with Botpress's autonomous engine, knowledge base configuration, and custom module development

  • Ask how they design conversation flows, fallback responses, escalation paths, and human handoff experiences within Botpress

  • Discuss their approach to knowledge-base management, retrieval quality, prompt engineering, and maintaining response accuracy over time

  • Explore how they handle integrations, analytics, testing, monitoring, and ongoing optimization after deployment

  • Consider requesting a short paid test task to evaluate hands-on skills and alignment with your project goals

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Finalize project terms and start collaborating with your chosen developer in a secure, structured environment.

  • Agree on a fixed-price contract for a project with a finite endpoint or an hourly contract for ongoing support. 

  • Set milestones for larger projects to track progress and manage deliverables effectively.

  • Define deliverables such as conversation flows, integrations, knowledge-base setup, analytics configuration, deployment, testing, and documentation before development begins

  • Establish milestones for chatbot architecture, conversation design, integrations, testing, user acceptance review, and production launch

  • Clarify ownership of Botpress workspaces, conversation assets, prompts, knowledge sources, API credentials, and deployment environments before work starts

  • Use Upwork Messaging and the contract workroom for communication and project management throughout the engagement

  • Identity verification, payment protection, hourly tracking, and project funds provide security for both clients and freelancers
