Flowise

Drag-and-drop UI to build LLM-powered flows, chatbots, and AI agents visually

35k TypeScript Apache-2.0 1 month ago

Overview

Flowise is a low-code tool for building LLM-orchestrated applications using a visual node-based canvas. It supports LangChain and LlamaIndex abstractions, letting users wire together document loaders, vector stores, chains, and tools without writing code. It ships with an embeddable chat widget and REST API for integrating into existing products.

Where it falls short of ChatGPT

  • Visual canvas can become unmanageable for complex production pipelines
  • No built-in fine-tuning or model training support
  • Enterprise auth (SSO, RBAC) requires paid managed plan

We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
