Dify is an LLM application development platform that has already seen over 100,000 applications built on Dify.AI. It integrates the concepts of Backend as a Service and LLMOps, covering the core tech stack required for building generative AI-native applications, including a built-in RAG engine. With Dify, you can self-deploy capabilities similar to Assistants API and GPTs based on any LLMs.

Use Cloud Services

Using Dify.AI Cloud provides all the capabilities of the open-source version, and includes a complimentary 200 GPT trial credits.

Why Dify

Dify features model neutrality and is a complete, engineered tech stack compared to hardcoded development libraries like LangChain. Unlike OpenAI's Assistants API, Dify allows for full local deployment of services.

Feature Dify.AI Assistants API LangChain
Programming Approach API-oriented API-oriented Python Code-oriented
Ecosystem Strategy Open Source Closed and Commercial Open Source
RAG Engine Supported Supported Not Supported
Prompt IDE Included Included None
Supported LLMs Rich Variety Only GPT Rich Variety
Local Deployment Supported Not Supported Not Applicable

Features

1. LLM Support: Integration with OpenAI's GPT family of models, or the open-source Llama2 family models. In fact, Dify supports mainstream commercial models and open-source models (locally deployed or based on MaaS).

2. Prompt IDE: Visual orchestration of applications and services based on LLMs with your team.

3. RAG Engine: Includes various RAG capabilities based on full-text indexing or vector database embeddings, allowing direct upload of PDFs, TXTs, and other text formats.

4. Agents: A Function Calling based Agent framework that allows users to configure what they see is what they get. Dify includes basic plugin capabilities like Google Search.

5. Continuous Operations: Monitor and analyze application logs and performance, continuously improving Prompts, datasets, or models using production data.
