Best open source AI CRM

The best open source AI CRM is DeskcommCRM (MIT, 4,892 GitHub stars, 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.

Only a few CRMs in the catalog mention AI features in their own description or topics; they come first. The others are listed as AI-ready: they have APIs you can connect to a self-hosted model through n8n, Dify or Langflow, but they do not claim built-in AI.

How we ranked

Ordering rule: Picked by hand for each job from apps whose own description or topics match it, in curated order inside each section, with GitHub data from October 2026; an app appears only once.

Apps were picked by hand from the appsgit catalog for each job, then checked against the snapshot: unknown or archived projects and projects with no commit in two years are dropped automatically.
Inside each section the curated order is kept, most broadly useful first; an app appears only once on the page.
Stars, license, Docker and activity facts come from the GitHub API as of October 2026.
AI features are marked only when the app's own description or topics mention AI, LLMs, RAG or agents.
Source-available apps are labelled; they are not open source, so read their licenses before commercial use.

No pick on this page is sponsored.

Questions and answers

Still curious? Email info@appsgit.com.

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.
