Flowise

Flowise is an open source visual platform for building AI agents, LLM workflows, and chat assistants. It fits developers and AI teams that want a canvas for agents plus APIs, SDKs, embedded chat, and deployment control. Teams can start locally with npm, use hosted plans, or deploy in cloud and on-prem environments.

Key Highlights

• Agentflow for coordinated multi-agent workflows
• Chatflow for chat assistants with tool calling and RAG
• Human in the Loop review steps for tasks needing approval
• Execution Traces with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and other observability tools
• APIs, embedded chat, TypeScript and Python SDKs, 100+ LLM, embedding, and vector database integrations

What Makes It Different

Flowise sits between hosted chatbot tools and fully custom LLM application code. The visual canvas models agentic systems as modular blocks, while APIs and SDKs connect flows to products.

Flowise has joined Workday, but public positioning still centers on open source development, local npm startup, and cloud or on-prem deployment. That suits teams that want a visual builder without losing hosting choices.

Features & Capabilities

Teams build in Agentflow for multi-agent systems or Chatflow for single-agent assistants and chatbots. Chatflows support tool calling and RAG from different data sources, while review steps keep people in the loop before sensitive tasks finish.

For integrations, Flowise exposes prediction APIs, an embedded chatbot widget, and TypeScript and Python SDKs. Production setups can use many model, embedding, and vector database options, message queues and workers for scale, and execution traces for monitoring.
