Flowise
Open-source, drag-and-drop LangChain UI. Build AI chatbots and agents visually without writing code.
What is Flowise?
Visual LangChain Builder for Everyone
Flowise is an open-source, drag-and-drop interface for building LangChain-powered AI applications. It takes the power of LangChain's agent and chain framework and exposes it through a visual canvas, making it possible to build sophisticated RAG systems, chatbots, and AI agents without writing a single line of code.
From Canvas to Production
Each workflow built in Flowise is instantly deployable as an API endpoint or embeddable chat widget. This means you can go from prototype to production-ready AI application in a single session, with no additional infrastructure work required beyond the initial Flowise deployment.
- Visual canvas built on React Flow for intuitive workflow building
- All major LangChain components available as drag-and-drop nodes
- Instant API and embed widget generation for any workflow
- Self-hostable with Docker for full data control
