Dify
Open-source platform to build and host LLM apps, agents, and workflows.
Add Dify to your hut →Dify is an open-source LLM application development platform that provides a visual workflow builder, RAG pipeline, prompt management, agent tools, and API deployment in one self-hostable package. Teams use it to build internal AI tools — chatbots, document Q&A systems, and automated pipelines — without needing to wire together multiple libraries from scratch. The platform includes observability, model switching (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models), and a marketplace of workflow templates.
Self-hosting is open-source and free. The cloud Sandbox plan is free for light use; Pro is $59/mo. Most often compared to Flowise and LangChain — Dify's edge is the full-stack platform approach with a polished UI for both builders and end users; LangChain is more flexible for custom code but requires significantly more engineering.
