Chatbots & assistants

Flowise

Open-source visual builder for AI agents and chatbots, based on drag-and-drop flows you can run on your own machine or server.

Our take

A friendly way to prototype an AI assistant visually and keep everything on your own server.

Who it is for

Makers and small teams who want to build AI chatbots and agents without writing a full application.

Starts locally in two commands: npm install -g flowise, then npx flowise start (opens at localhost:3000).
Docker Compose setup included for running it on a server.
Apache 2.0 license allows commercial use.

The GitHub repository is currently marked archived (read-only); the maintainers point to a 'Future of Flowise' discussion for next steps.
Needs Node.js 20 or later.
Self-hosting means you handle updates, security and hosting yourself.
