Chatflow
A conversational workflow orchestration feature within the Dify platform that supports chaining multiple tool nodes and integrating MCP servers. It is used to build AI agent applications that require structured, multi-step conversational logic.
Core Facts
Chatflow是Dify特有的概念，本质上是带有对话交互能力的工作流
Dify-Chat supports two Dify application types: Chatflow (conversational flow applications) and Workflow (workflow applications).
Both Chatflow and Workflow are composed of individual nodes, which are the functional modules that make up the workflow.
Timeline (last 90 days)
In Dify, Chatflow nodes can reference conversation variables to remember information from previous turns, whereas Workflow can only use variables within a single run.
Chatflow is recommended for conversational applications and is currently the most widely used type in practice.
Workflow allows multiple steps to be chained into a directed acyclic graph (DAG), suitable for complex business processes involving conditional branching and parallel processing; Chatflow adds multi-turn conversation capabilities on top of Workflow
Dify separates the design of Workflow and Chatflow; both essentially belong to the workflow category, with the difference being whether conversation state needs to be maintained.
Both Chatflow and Workflow are composed of individual nodes, which are the functional modules that make up the workflow.
