Dify
Dify is an open-source platform for building agent workflows and RAG pipelines in one workspace.
Overview
Dify is a platform for building agent workflows and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines together with multiple AI models and tools in one collaborative workspace. It can be deployed to the cloud, a VPC or your own servers, so you can go from prototype to production on the same stack.
It consists of Workflow Studio for designing workflows visually, Knowledge Pipeline for preparing searchable knowledge bases, and Marketplace for finding tools, models and integrations. Apps you build are published as web apps or APIs.
It suits practitioners who want to build AI apps quickly with a no-code interface, and enterprise teams that need to deploy in-house.
What it is used for
- Build a RAG chatbot that answers based on documents.
- Visually design multi-step agent workflows.
- Publish AI apps you build as web apps or APIs.
- Deploy it on in-house servers and run it as an AI platform.
