About Dify

Dify pivots from workflow builder to shell-executing agents in a sandbox.

Dify remains an LLM app and workflow platform, but its 2026 releases have steadily shifted weight toward agents. It has added human-in-the-loop workflow nodes, a sandboxed Agent+Skills runtime, and now an experimental Dify Agent that runs in a Linux sandbox and executes shell commands. The patch releases in between (1.14.1, 1.14.2) tightened self-hosting security and workflow reliability around that agent groundwork.
