The fifth circle: bots you assemble, not code
Channelflow runs flows into channels. Bot Builder is the other direction — a bot your readers talk to, built from the same prompts, glossaries and sources you already maintain.
Answers from your own archiveIt replies with what your channel actually published, quoting the post and date — not a summary it invented.
Same prompt, same voiceYour Multilang glossary and tone rules carry over, so the bot does not sound like a different publication.
Subscription and paywall blocksGate a topic behind Stars or a card, with the same ledger rules as the rest of billing.
Handover to a humanAny thread can jump to your inbox with the whole conversation attached. No dead ends.
What it will not do: post on your behalf, or answer about anything you have not published. If your archive does not cover the question, the bot says so and offers the human.

Bot Builder travels as a badge next to the logo, not as a fifth circle. If it never ships, the logo never changes — and we will say that here rather than quietly drop the page.
