**2. Prompt IDE**: Visual orchestration of applications and services based on LLMs with your team.
**3. RAG Engine**: Includes various RAG capabilities based on full-text indexing or vector database embeddings, allowing direct upload of PDFs, TXTs, and other text formats.
**4. AI Agent**: Based on Function Calling and ReAct, the Agent inference framework allows users to customize tools, what you see is what you get. Dify provides more than a dozen built-in tool calling capabilities, such as Google Search, DELL·E, Stable Diffusion, WolframAlpha, etc.
**5. Continuous Operations**: Monitor and analyze application logs and performance, continuously improving Prompts, datasets, or models using production data.
