Flowise

Flowise is an open source generative AI development platform for building custom AI agents and orchestrating LLM workflows visually.

Flowise is an open source generative AI development platform that lets you build custom AI agents and LLM workflows visually using modular building blocks. It provides a drag-and-drop interface to create multi-agent systems, chat assistants, and conversational agents with support for tool calling, memory, and knowledge retrieval from various data sources. Users can extend applications via APIs, TypeScript and Python SDKs, and embedded widgets, as well as deploy on cloud or on-premises environments. The platform is designed for developers, teams, and enterprises looking to prototype and scale AI applications with observability tools like Prometheus and OpenTelemetry. It supports over 100 LLMs, embeddings, and vector databases.
