LangFlow

Visual framework for building multi-agent AI apps

open sourceupdated Apr 21, 2026

LangFlow is an open-source visual framework for building multi-agent AI apps with drag-and-drop. Built on LangChain, it lets developers compose chains, agents, and RAG pipelines by connecting modular components visually. Features real-time interaction, Python customization, one-click deployment, and export to LangChain code. Supports all major LLM providers, vector stores, and tools. With 146K+ GitHub stars, it bridges visual prototyping and production deployment.

LangFlow is the visual builder for LangChain with over 146,000 GitHub stars, providing a drag-and-drop interface for creating multi-agent AI applications, RAG pipelines, and complex LLM workflows without writing extensive boilerplate code.

The visual canvas lets developers connect modular components — LLMs, prompt templates, vector stores, tools, agents, and chains — by dragging and dropping. Each component is configurable through the UI, and flows can be exported as executable LangChain code or deployed directly as APIs.

Supports all major LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and local models through Ollama. Vector store integrations cover Pinecone, Chroma, Weaviate, Qdrant, and more. Built-in components include document loaders, text splitters, embeddings, retrievers, and output parsers.

Python-based custom components extend the platform beyond built-in capabilities. Real-time interaction allows testing flows directly in the UI with a chat interface before deployment.

DataStax acquired LangFlow and offers a hosted cloud version alongside the open-source self-hosted option. Particularly valuable for teams prototyping AI workflows and transitioning from prototypes to production.

Comparisons

LangFlow vs Flowise — Visual LLM Builders: Python + LangChain vs Node.js + Enterprise in 2026

LangFlow and Flowise are the two most-starred visual LLM builders in 2026, and they make very different architectural bets. LangFlow is Python-based, maintained by DataStax/IBM, and gives you source-level access to every LangChain component — ideal for Python teams and prototyping. Flowise is Node.js-based, community-maintained, and ships enterprise features (RBAC, SSO, rate limiting, air-gapped deployment) out of the box — the cleaner fit for production self-hosting and multi-agent orchestration. This comparison covers architecture, DX, deployment, and enterprise fit.
