What is Dify?
Dify is an open-source platform that enables no-code/low-code construction of AI applications and agents powered by LLMs (large language models). You can design and deploy chatbots, AI assistants, workflow automations, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines through a visual interface. It supports numerous model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and local LLMs, allowing you to freely switch models based on your needs. The Knowledge Base feature lets you train AI on internal documents and FAQs to build custom AI systems. Both self-hosted (open source) and cloud versions are available, giving you control over data management. It is being adopted across a wide range of use cases including internal tools, customer support bots, and business process automation.
