Dify is an open-source LLM app development platform. Its intuitive interface combines AI workflow, RAG pipeline, agent capabilities, model management, observability features and more, letting you quickly go from prototype to production. Here's a list of the core features:
</br> </br>

**1. Workflow**: 
  Build and test powerful AI workflows on a visual canvas, leveraging all the following features and beyond.


  https://github.com/langgenius/dify/assets/13230914/356df23e-1604-483d-80a6-9517ece318aa



**2. Comprehensive model support**: 
  Seamless integration with hundreds of proprietary / open-source LLMs from dozens of inference providers and self-hosted solutions, covering GPT, Mistral, Llama3, and any OpenAI API-compatible models. A full list of supported model providers can be found [here](https://docs.dify.ai/getting-started/readme/model-providers).

![providers-v5](https://github.com/langgenius/dify/assets/13230914/5a17bdbe-097a-4100-8363-40255b70f6e3)


**3. Prompt IDE**: 
  Intuitive interface for crafting prompts, comparing model performance, and adding additional features such as text-to-speech to a chat-based app. 

**4. RAG Pipeline**: 
  Extensive RAG capabilities that cover everything from document ingestion to retrieval, with out-of-box support for text extraction from PDFs, PPTs, and other common document formats.

**5. Agent capabilities**: 
  You can define agents based on LLM Function Calling or ReAct, and add pre-built or custom tools for the agent. Dify provides 50+ built-in tools for AI agents, such as Google Search, DELL·E, Stable Diffusion and WolframAlpha.

**6. LLMOps**: 
  Monitor and analyze application logs and performance over time. You could continuously improve prompts, datasets, and models based on production data and annotations.

**7. Backend-as-a-Service**: 
  All of Dify's offerings come with corresponding APIs, so you could effortlessly integrate Dify into your own business logic.

## Using Dify

- **Cloud </br>**
We host a [Dify Cloud](https://dify.ai) service for anyone to try with zero setup. It provides all the capabilities of the self-deployed version, and includes 200 free GPT-4 calls in the sandbox plan.

- **Self-hosting Dify Community Edition</br>**
Quickly get Dify running in your environment with this [starter guide](#quick-start).
Use our [documentation](https://docs.dify.ai) for further references and more in-depth instructions.

- **Dify for enterprise / organizations</br>**
We provide additional enterprise-centric features. [Schedule a meeting with us](https://cal.com/guchenhe/30min) or [send us an email](mailto:business@dify.ai?subject=[GitHub]Business%20License%20Inquiry) to discuss enterprise needs. </br>
  > For startups and small businesses using AWS, check out [Dify Premium on AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-t22mebxzwjhu6) and deploy it to your own AWS VPC with one-click. It's an affordable AMI offering with the option to create apps with custom logo and branding.


## Staying ahead

Star Dify on GitHub and be instantly notified of new releases.

![star-us](https://github.com/langgenius/dify/assets/13230914/b823edc1-6388-4e25-ad45-2f6b187adbb4)



## Quick start
> Before installing Dify, make sure your machine meets the following minimum system requirements:
> 

>- CPU >= 2 Core
>- RAM >= 4GB

</br>

The easiest way to start the Dify server is to run our [docker-compose.yml](docker/docker-compose.yaml) file. Before running the installation command, make sure that [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) are installed on your machine:

```bash

cd docker

docker compose up -d

```

After running, you can access the Dify dashboard in your browser at [http://localhost/install](http://localhost/install) and start the initialization process.

> If you'd like to contribute to Dify or do additional development, refer to our [guide to deploying from source code](https://docs.dify.ai/getting-started/install-self-hosted/local-source-code)

## Next steps

If you need to customize the configuration, please refer to the comments in our [docker-compose.yml](docker/docker-compose.yaml) file and manually set the environment configuration. After making the changes, please run `docker-compose up -d` again. You can see the full list of environment variables [here](https://docs.dify.ai/getting-started/install-self-hosted/environments).

If you'd like to configure a highly-available setup, there are community-contributed [Helm Charts](https://helm.sh/) which allow Dify to be deployed on Kubernetes.
