Dify is an open-source platform by LangGenius for visually building, running and managing LLM-powered applications, workflows and agents. It combines a visual workflow builder, a prompt IDE, a RAG pipeline, agent capabilities, model management and observability features in one interface. The product is available as Dify Cloud (SaaS) or self-hosted (Docker/Kubernetes) and supports hundreds of LLM providers plus native MCP integration. Originally open-sourced in May 2023, Dify is now one of the most popular agent frameworks on GitHub.
