What is Flowise?

Flowise is an MIT-licensed, low-code platform for building LLM applications with a visual drag-and-drop interface built on LangChain.js. You wire together a model, a data source, memory and an output, and Flowise handles the orchestration.

What's in the Meetrix Flowise AMI

The AMI ships Flowise ready to use, with login and SSL handled at launch.

How to set up a self-hosted Flowise server

  1. Launch the stack

    Subscribe on AWS Marketplace and launch the CloudFormation stack with your domain and Flowise login.

  2. Point your domain at it

    After 5-10 minutes, create a DNS record for your domain with the PublicIp from the stack outputs.

  3. Sign in

    Open the DashboardUrl and log in with the Flowise username and password you set.

  4. Build your first flow

    Add your LLM API key, start from a template, and embed the chatbot or call its API.

Flowise FAQ

What is Flowise used for?

Building LLM applications visually: AI chatbots, document Q&A, RAG pipelines and autonomous agents, by connecting nodes on a canvas.

How is Flowise different from LangChain?

LangChain is a library you use in code. Flowise is a visual interface built on LangChain concepts, which makes prototyping a chatbot or RAG pipeline faster.

Which LLM providers can I use?

OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, Cohere, Google Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama for local models, and others. You bring your own API keys.

Do I need to code?

Not for most use cases. Chatbots, RAG pipelines and basic agents are drag-and-drop; custom code nodes are there if you need them.

Can end users chat with my flows?

Yes. Every flow has an API endpoint, and Flowise includes an embeddable chat widget for websites.

Which instance size should I choose?

t3a.medium is the recommended starting point on AWS.

How is SSL set up?

Automatically if your domain is hosted on Route 53. Otherwise SSH in and run sudo /root/certificate_generate_standalone.sh.

How do I upgrade?

Back up your flows and configuration, remove the old stack and launch the updated AMI from AWS Marketplace.
