How to set it up
- 01Choose Dify for chat + knowledge-base apps and n8n for triggered automations across SaaS tools
- 02Self-host with Docker Compose (Dify requires at least 2 CPU cores and 4 GiB RAM) or try the official cloud first
- 03Add your model provider API key and get one minimal flow working
- 04Check licences: Dify and n8n both have extra terms; read them before offering a SaaS
✓ Good fit
- Build internal AI tools fast without coding from scratch
✗ Look elsewhere if
