Flowise

by Flowise (Workday)

Open-source visual builder for AI agents and LLM flows

Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27

Overview

Flowise offers three builders, Assistant, Chatflow and Agentflow, on top of 100+ integrations for models, tools, vector databases and memory, and it supports self-hosted and air-gapped deployment. Workday announced its acquisition of Flowise in August 2025, which adds enterprise backing but may shape the roadmap. Flowise Cloud starts free with limited predictions and moves to $35 a month, and it assumes some technical comfort.
