Dify - Open-Source LLM App Builder with RAG & Agents

Dify is a visual platform for creating AI applications with workflows, agents, knowledge pipelines, model providers, tools, and integrations. Apps can be published as web experiences, APIs, embeds, or MCP-compatible tools, with logs and usage monitoring.

Teams can use Dify Cloud, self-host Dify Enterprise, or deploy the Community Edition with Docker. Cloud plans include message credits, while model usage beyond included credits may require users to connect their own provider API keys. Enterprise pricing is custom.

Features

  • Build visual workflows with prompts, retrieval, decisions, tools, and human input
  • Create agents by chatting or configuring skills, tools, and knowledge
  • Extract, clean, chunk, index, and test knowledge from files, websites, and drives
  • Install model providers, tools, data sources, and MCP integrations
  • Publish apps as hosted experiences, API endpoints, embeds, or MCP-compatible tools
  • Monitor logs, feedback, annotations, latency, and usage data
  • Self-host with Docker under the Apache-2.0-derivative license

Use cases

  • Build customer-support chatbots grounded in company documents
  • Create internal agents that retrieve data and call business tools
  • Automate multi-step research, routing, and approval workflows
  • Prototype and deploy AI applications without building infrastructure
  • Create searchable knowledge bases from files, websites, and online documents
