Open-source no-code platform for building internal business applications.

NocoBase adds authenticated knowledge base retrieval to its AI workflow layer.

no-codeai-workflowsknowledge-baseopen-sourceenterpriseworkflow-automation
◆Current state
NocoBase is running three parallel release tracks simultaneously — v2.3.x stable beta, v2.4.x alpha, and v3.0.0 alpha — which reflects an unusually aggressive parallel development posture. The v2.3.x beta is where users get shipped features; v2.4.x and v3.0.0 are where experiments land first. The most significant recent move is an authenticated knowledge base retrieval API in beta.8, with a built-in provider for querying remote NocoBase instances from within workflows.
◆Where it's heading
NocoBase is stacking AI capabilities onto its no-code foundation in a deliberate sequence: AI employees first (v2.4 series), then knowledge base retrieval, and a v3.0.0 architectural rework running in parallel. The direction is toward an AI-augmented low-code platform where workflows can query enterprise knowledge bases, not just database records. The simplification of AI employee data source settings in alpha.3 suggests the team is tightening the UX as the feature surface matures.
◆Prediction
The AI employee and knowledge base capabilities are on a convergence path — the next likely move is an AI employee that queries the knowledge base as part of its reasoning loop, enabling query-then-act workflows without leaving NocoBase. The v3.0.0 scope will become clearer as alphas accumulate.

    Server-side IP block, iOS QR fix, and WeCom type safety in beta.9

    Beta.9 blocks server-side requests and redirects to literal IP addresses — a meaningful security hardening for multi-tenant deployments — alongside iOS QR scanning reliability and WeCom notification fixes. Solidifying stable-track quality ahead of the AI capability work.

    Alpha.5 WeCom type safety and association field bug fixes

    Alpha.5 is a light pass: WeCom notification type safety and a set of V2 form association field fixes. No new surface area — these are stability commits in an active alpha track.

    NocoBase adds authenticated knowledge base retrieval API for remote instances

    ⚡ SPARK

    Beta.8 is where the AI Knowledge base feature lands in the stable track: an authenticated retrieval API plus a built-in provider that lets workflows query remote NocoBase knowledge bases. This extends the AI workflow surface from structured database queries to unstructured knowledge retrieval — a meaningful capability jump for enterprise use cases.

    AI Knowledge base retrieval lands in v2.4.0-alpha.4

    Alpha.4 carries the same AI Knowledge base retrieval feature as beta.8 — the authenticated API and remote-instance provider. Its appearance in both tracks confirms this is a priority feature being shipped in parallel rather than staged.

    Node.js 22 requirement, DingTalk browser links, and XSS fix in beta.7

    Beta.7 raises the Node.js floor to v22, hardens rich-text field handling against stored XSS via API, and gives DingTalk ActionCard buttons external browser support. The Node.js version bump is a dependency commitment with ecosystem implications; the XSS fix addresses a real attack surface for API-writable deployments.

    AI employee data source settings simplified in alpha.3

    Alpha.3 removes persisted AI context data source settings from AI employees while keeping direct query capabilities. A deliberate simplification of the AI employee configuration surface — less ambient state to manage.
