Open-source tool for prototyping and deploying agentic and RAG applications through a drag-and-drop canvas, with Python customization underneath each node. It connects major LLMs, vector databases, and tools, and can expose flows as APIs or MCP servers. Run it locally, as a desktop app, or on managed cloud.

Pros & cons

  • Visual, low-code flow builder
  • Python-extensible nodes
  • Self-host or managed cloud
  • Export flows as APIs or MCP servers
  • Complex flows get unwieldy visually
  • Less granular than pure-code frameworks
  • Still maturing post-acquisition

    Flowise

    FlowiseAI

    Visually build AI agents and LLM workflows — drag-and-drop, self-hosted.

    A low-code visual builder for AI agents, chatflows, and multi-agent systems on a drag-and-drop canvas. It self-hosts locally through npm or Docker, or deploys to major clouds, and is provider-agnostic across many LLMs via its node ecosystem. The core is Apache-2.0; a managed Flowise Cloud tier exists, making it freemium.

    Worth knowing

    A YC S23 open-source project with 40k+ GitHub stars, used inside Fortune 500s like Accenture and AWS.

    Dify

    Dify (LangGenius)

    Visual platform for agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and LLM apps.

    An LLMOps platform that bundles a drag-and-drop workflow builder, RAG pipelines, agent tooling, model management, and observability into one surface — prototype to production without much glue code. Connects hundreds of proprietary and open models across providers. Self-host the source-available edition for free, or use Dify Cloud's paid tiers.

    Worth knowing

    Launched in 2023 by LangGenius (ex-Tencent Cloud devs); one of GitHub's most-starred LLM-app platforms (130k+).

    n8n

    n8n

    Fair-code workflow automation with first-class AI nodes.

    Visual workflow builder bridging APIs, databases, and AI providers. Self-hostable; commercial cloud available. The default Zapier-style surface for the agentic-workflow crowd.

    Worth knowing

    Licensed 'fair-code' (Sustainable Use), not OSI open-source — self-host it freely, but reselling it as a hosted service is restricted.
