Convoro

Convoro is a modern, open-source forum and community platform built on Laravel — with AI built into the core, not bolted on. Its standout feature, Ask Convoro, lets members ask a question in plain language and get an instant, synthesized answer drawn from your community's own threads, complete with citations back to the source posts. It's bring-your-own-model, working with any Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible LLM plus Voyage AI for semantic search, so you stay in control of your data, costs, and provider.

Beyond the AI, Convoro ships as one cohesive platform instead of a bare core that needs a dozen plugins to be usable. Out of the box you get a live theme editor with real-time preview (no CSS required), a true WYSIWYG post editor with automatic WebP image conversion, live threads with presence and typing indicators, a built-in marketplace of 35+ first-party extensions and themes you install straight from the admin, PWA support with push notifications, full member profiles and private messaging, scoped API tokens with granular permissions, and an accessibility-first design with a built-in compliance dashboard.

Convoro is lightweight enough to run on cheap shared hosting and includes a one-step importer that migrates members, categories, topics, posts, media, and even passwords directly from Flarum. It's free, open-source, and ActivityPub-federated — your community, your server, your data.
