Dify is an LLM-first, node-based workflow builder that lets you create autonomous AI agents using cloud or local LLMs. Unlike general automation tools like n8n or IFTTT, Dify is designed specifically for agentic AI pipelines with a visual drag-and-drop interface, integrated RAG knowledge base, and built-in API creation. It can be self-hosted with a single Docker command, making it easy to run privacy-preserving local LLM workflows. The author has switched from using Claude directly to building custom agents in Dify, citing data privacy and the ability to train models on personal documents as key motivators.
