Visual workflow orchestration for AI agents and automation
Discover top open-source software, updated regularly with real-world adoption signals.

Build and deploy AI agents visually with low-code workflows
Flowise is a visual builder for creating AI agents and LLM workflows using a drag-and-drop interface. Deploy chatbots, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent systems without extensive coding.

Flowise empowers developers and technical teams to design, prototype, and deploy AI agents through an intuitive visual interface. Built on LangChain, it bridges the gap between complex LLM orchestration and accessible low-code development.
The platform supports chatbot creation, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, agentic workflows, and multi-agent systems. Its modular architecture includes a Node.js backend, React frontend, and extensible third-party integrations. Teams can chain together LLM providers, vector databases, tools, and custom logic nodes to build sophisticated AI applications.
Flowise runs locally via npm or Docker, and scales to production through self-hosted deployments on AWS, Azure, GCP, Digital Ocean, and other cloud platforms. The managed Flowise Cloud option provides instant hosting. With Apache License 2.0, teams retain full control over their implementations while benefiting from an active open-source community of contributors.
When teams consider Flowise, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
