What is the best open source AI CRM?

The best open source AI CRM is DeskcommCRM, with 4,448 GitHub stars, the MIT license and a Docker image; Relaticle also mentions AI features in its own description. Twenty and Krayin are AI-ready through integrations such as n8n and Dify, but do not claim built-in AI. AI features are marked only when a project's own description or topics mention them.

Which open source CRM has built-in AI?

Only CRMs whose own description or topics mention AI, LLMs or agents are marked as having AI features here. Check the project's documentation for what the AI actually does before you rely on it.

How do I add AI to a CRM that has none?

Use a workflow tool such as n8n, Activepieces or Langflow: trigger on a CRM event, send the record to a model (a local one through Ollama, or a cloud API), and write the result back through the CRM's API.

Is DeskcommCRM free?

Yes. DeskcommCRM is open-source software released under the MIT license, so you can self-host it at no cost. You only pay for the server it runs on, and some projects also offer an optional paid cloud plan.

Can I run this stack with Docker?

All 12 apps here publish Docker images, including DeskcommCRM, Relaticle and Twenty, so most of the stack can run side by side with Docker Compose on one server. Size the server for the heaviest app and add off-site backups.
