What is Dify?

Dify is a visual platform for building AI applications, agentic workflows, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines. It brings prompts, models, tools, and knowledge bases into a shared workspace for developers and teams creating AI-powered business applications.

Users assemble workflows with visual building blocks that define how an application retrieves information, makes decisions, calls tools, requests human input, and completes tasks. Keeping these steps visible helps teams test and debug application logic before publishing it as a web app or API. The workspace also supports collaboration and management of applications, agents, and knowledge bases.

Dify offers managed cloud hosting, private infrastructure deployment, and a free Community edition that can be self-hosted with Docker under Dify's license. Cloud plans set allowances for members, apps, document storage, message credits, and workflow triggers. Enterprise deployment adds controls such as SSO, role-based access, and audit logs, alongside dedicated support.
