Dify Has a Free LLM App Builder — Create AI Agents and Workflows Without Coding

Dify is an open-source LLM application development platform for building AI workflows.

What You Get for Free

  • Visual workflow builder — drag-and-drop AI pipelines
  • RAG engine — upload documents, create knowledge bases
  • Agent mode — AI agents with tool use and reasoning
  • Prompt IDE — test and compare prompts across models
  • 200+ model support — OpenAI, Claude, Llama, Mistral, local models
  • API publishing — one-click turn any workflow into an API
  • Chatbot builder — embeddable chat widget for websites
  • Self-hosted — free, unlimited everything
  • Cloud free tier — 200 messages/day

Quick Start

# Self-hosted with Docker
git clone https://github.com/langgenius/dify.git
cd dify/docker
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d

# Access at http://localhost/install
# Connect your API keys (OpenAI, Claude, etc.)
# Or connect Ollama for free local models
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why Teams Choose It

Building AI apps from scratch takes weeks. Dify:

  • Visual workflows — non-engineers can build AI apps
  • RAG built in — upload PDFs, get a Q&A bot in minutes
  • Model-agnostic — switch between GPT-4, Claude, local models
  • API in one click — deploy workflows as production APIs

A customer support team wanted an AI bot for their docs. Instead of a 3-week engineering project, they built it in Dify in 2 hours — uploaded their docs, connected Claude, deployed as a chat widget on their site.
