Dify

Dify is an open source platform for building AI apps like chatbots, assistants, and automated workflows. You design how the app works on a visual canvas, connect it to models like GPT or Claude, and add your own documents so it can answer from them. You can host it yourself or use Dify Cloud.

What you can do with Dify

• Build AI workflows by dragging and connecting blocks
• Upload your docs and build a chatbot that answers from them (RAG)
• Switch between many AI models from one place
• Create agents that use tools and take actions
• Test and compare prompts
• Publish your app as a web page or an API

Who it's for

Dify suits developers and tech minded teams who want to build AI apps fast without writing everything from scratch. Self-hosting is a plus if you need to keep data in house.

Pricing

The self-hosted community version on GitHub is free. Dify Cloud has a free sandbox plan and paid plans for teams.

Alternatives to Dify

Flowise and n8n are other open source options. Relevance AI is a hosted no code alternative.
