Overview
Dify is an open-source platform for building LLM workflows, chatbots, and agents. You can self-host it with no vendor lock-in, or run it as a managed cloud service. Its RAG pipeline handles document ingestion, chunking, and embedding with little configuration, which makes knowledge-base content applications practical. Anything you build publishes as a REST API or an MCP server.
