Install Hexabot CLI and Create Your First AI Workflow

This is a tutorial post walking through Hexabot CLI setup and first workflow creation. Hexabot itself is an open-source conversational AI builder — think a self-hosted alternative to Voiceflow or Botpress — and this post functions as an onboarding guide rather than a feature announcement. The value depends entirely on whether Hexabot is already on your radar. If it is, this is a clean getting-started path. If it is not, the tutorial alone does not make a strong case for why Hexabot over the alternatives: it covers setup mechanics without explaining the architectural choices that would differentiate it. The CLI angle is interesting for teams that want workflow automation in a script-driven pipeline rather than a drag-and-drop canvas. Reservation: this is documentation-as-content, which is fine but is not the same as a compelling product differentiator. -> Best for: indie hacker or solo founder already evaluating Hexabot as a self-hosted chatbot and workflow platform.
