Open-source drag-and-drop builder for AI agents and LLM workflows
Last reviewed 2026-06-18
Flowise is an open-source drag-and-drop platform for building AI agents and LLM applications visually. Originally built on LangChain, it lets users assemble chat assistants, single-agent and multi-agent systems, and complex workflow orchestration on a canvas using its Agentflow superset of its earlier Chatflow and Assistant builders. It ships ready-to-use templates, conversational agents with memory, and can deploy on major clouds or via a managed Flowise Cloud. Flowise targets both technical and non-technical builders who want to prototype and ship LLM apps without writing orchestration code. The core is free and open source for self-hosting; the autonomy of anything you build depends on the flow you design.

Strengths
- +Open source and free to self-host with no orchestration code required
- +Accessible to both technical and non-technical builders
- +Supports single-agent, multi-agent, and full workflow orchestration
Limitations
- −A building platform: you design the flow and its guardrails
- −Heritage on LangChain means some complexity leaks through for advanced flows
- −Autonomy depends entirely on how you build the agent
Overview
Flowise is an open-source, drag-and-drop platform for building AI agents and LLM applications visually. It was originally built on LangChain.
What it does
Users assemble chat assistants, single-agent and multi-agent systems, and workflow orchestration on a canvas via Agentflow (a superset of its earlier Chatflow and Assistant builders). It ships ready-to-use templates and conversational agents with memory, and can deploy on major clouds or via managed Flowise Cloud.
Classification note
Flowise is a building platform, not an end-user agent. The autonomy of anything you build depends on the flow you design, so we list it as supervised-agent conservatively.
Integrations & setup
Self-host on AWS, Azure, GCP, Railway, or Render, or use Flowise Cloud. Model-agnostic with function calling and MCP support.
Pricing
Self-hosting is free and open source. Flowise Cloud offers managed paid plans.
Best for / not for
Best for builders who want to prototype and ship LLM apps and agents visually without writing orchestration code. Less suited to teams needing enterprise governance out of the box or guaranteed autonomous behavior.
Alternatives
Langflow is the closest visual builder; Dify adds RAG and model management; Stack AI targets enterprise no-code; n8n is automation-first.

FAQ
Is Flowise free?+
The core is free and open source for self-hosting. A managed Flowise Cloud offers paid plans; you supply your own model API keys when self-hosting.
Do I need to code to use Flowise?+
No. Flowise is a drag-and-drop visual builder aimed at both technical and non-technical users, though advanced flows benefit from developer knowledge.
