Flowise is an open-source (Apache 2.0), self-hostable low-code platform for visually building LLM apps, chatflows, and multi-agent systems on top of LangChain/LlamaIndex. Users drag model nodes onto a canvas and connect their own provider credentials: the ChatOpenAI/Azure/Anthropic/etc. nodes use a "Connect Credential" flow where you paste your own API key, and the ChatLocalAI node exposes a configurable Base Path that points at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (e.g. http://localhost:8080/v1 or Ollama). It ships nodes for 15+ chat-model providers plus a JS/REST SDK for embedding flows. A managed Flowise Cloud option also exists, but the self-hosted edition is fully BYOK and free.
How your API key is handled
You self-host the app, so your API key lives in your own deployment. Requests are sent directly to the AI provider. Because it can be self-hosted, your key never has to touch a third-party backend.
Setup
Deploy it (Docker/compose), add your provider API key in the admin or environment config, then select models.
