Flowise is an open-source AI development platform designed to help developers and teams build AI-powered applications using large language models. It provides a visual interface where users can create workflows, chatbots, and agents by connecting components such as prompts, APIs, and data sources without writing extensive code.
At its core, Flowise acts as a low-code orchestration layer for LLM applications. It supports multiple builder types such as chatflows, assistants, and agent workflows, allowing users to design complex AI systems with branching logic, memory, and integrations. The platform also includes analytics, evaluation tools, and human-in-the-loop features to improve reliability and performance.
Flowise is widely used for building applications like chatbots, RAG systems, and AI assistants. It can be self-hosted for full control or used via its cloud offering for managed infrastructure. This flexibility makes it appealing to developers, startups, and teams looking for a balance between customization and ease of use.
