Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Dify to build AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, and automated multi-step logic on a visual canvas. It connects multiple large language models with your custom documents, APIs, and external tools. You can test your prompt logic, inspect how models process steps, and publish the finished application as a hosted web page, embedded widget, or direct API endpoint. Teams can host it on the managed cloud or deploy the open-source version locally with Docker.
