Open-source platform for building LLM apps and agentic workflows

What it can do

  • Build AI workflows on a visual canvas

    Supervised

    Design and test multi-step AI workflows visually, combining prompts, models, logic, and tools.

    source

  • Build agents with tools

    Supervised

    Build autonomous agents that use function calling and 50+ built-in tools to complete tasks.

    source

  • Run RAG pipelines

    Assistant

    Provides RAG capabilities from document ingestion (PDF, PPT, and more) through retrieval to ground responses in knowledge bases.

    source

  • Manage models and observability

    Assistant

    Integrates hundreds of models across providers (including OpenAI-API-compatible endpoints) and monitors logs and performance over time.

Overview

Dify is an open-source platform for building LLM applications and agentic workflows, combining workflow design, RAG, agents, model management, and observability in one self-hostable stack.

What it does

On a visual canvas you build AI workflows, RAG pipelines, and agents that use function calling and 50+ built-in tools. It integrates hundreds of models across providers (including any OpenAI-API-compatible endpoint), provides prompt tooling, and monitors logs and performance. Apps can be published as chat UIs or APIs.

Classification note

Dify is a building platform, not an end-user agent. The autonomy of any app you create is configured by you, so we list it as supervised-agent conservatively.

Integrations & setup

Self-host via Docker or Kubernetes (Helm charts), or use Dify Cloud. Broad model and provider support, with MCP and function calling.

Pricing

Self-hosting is free and open source. Dify Cloud offers a free sandbox plan plus paid tiers.

Best for / not for

Best for teams that want an open, self-hostable stack to ship LLM apps and agents to production. Less suited to those wanting a fully managed, no-ops product or guaranteed autonomous behavior out of the box.

Alternatives

Flowise and Langflow are open-source visual agent/LLM builders; Stack AI targets enterprise no-code; n8n is automation-first with agent features.
