Check out the full changelog for all the details and upgrade your assistant today. As always, we can’t wait to see what you build with it!

Is Rasa Pro still based on Rasa Open Source? Or both versions became two independent projects?

Hi @diogotozzi, they are two separate projects. There are still some comparable components (i.e. slots exist in both Pro and Open Source), but the underlying dialogue system is different.

  • Rasa Pro allows you to use an LLM or NLU to understand users and progress the conversation forward, and Flows to manage the dialogue. You can read all about how it works in this docs page.
  • Rasa Open Source understands users with intents and manages dialogue with stories.

If you want to try Rasa Pro, you can sign up for the free developer edition and use it for up to 1000 conversations per month in production.

Hope that helps!
