INTRODUCTION

Our customer, a large digital platform enterprise, set out to make AI agents and workflow development accessible to everyone. As demand for agents and automation grew across teams, they needed a flexible, cost-effective way to build and deploy workflows.

Limited engineering bandwidth, slow experimentation, and high tool costs slowed progress, so we delivered a secure, internal no-code orchestration platform that enables employees to go from idea to a deployed AI agent in minutes.

OBJECTIVE

The initiative focused on removing technical and financial barriers to AI development across the organization. The goal was clear: Enable any employee to independently build, test, and deploy AI workflows, without writing a single line of code or relying on expensive tools.

This would allow business teams to rapidly prototype ideas, integrate AI into products, and dramatically cut the cost and complexity of traditional development processes.

Challenges

Slow internal innovation cycles

Commercial AI agent tools cost

Non-technical teams lacked autonomy

Disconnected tools and processes

OUR APPROACH

We recommended an open-source-first approach and selected Dify as the orchestration layer for LLM workflows. Using its agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and built-in API publishing, we delivered a working MVP within weeks.

To maximize the value of our solution, we then worked with the client’s network team to make the service available to all field offices and VPN concentrators, opening up the tool to all client employees worldwide. Then, we enabled connectors for major model providers and local runtimes to unify LLM access behind one platform and empower non-technical teams to build agents safely and in minutes due to easy to use no-code UI workflow builder. The result is standardized LLM access, reduced vendor lock-in and operational overhead, and a clear path to scale with observability and plugin-based extensions.

Benefits

01.
No-code workflow composition

Enabled the platform’s visual builder so teams could rapidly assemble LLMs, tools, APIs, and logic into reproducible workflows.

02.
Rapid API deployment

Leveraged the platform’s built-in API generation to expose agents and workflows without writing backend code.

03.
Access & accounts under VPN

Enabled authenticated user access across business units within the corporate VPN, aligning login and reachability with internal network controls.

04.
Self-service knowledge bases

Empowered non-technical teams to rapidly create and run AI agents over internal datasets with no developer involvement.

05.
Locally hosted LLM access

Enabled access to locally hosted LLMs, ensuring data residency and compliance by keeping model interactions within the corporate network.

Results

AI for Everyone

Non-technical employees can build solutions quickly.

Faster Experimentation

Innovation accelerated across all departments.

Future-Ready Platform

Flexible architecture supports new models with ease.

Conclusion

By eliminating engineering bottlenecks and empowering domain experts, Dify turned AI from a complex, engineering-driven task into a company-wide capability.

What started as a cost-saving measure became a cultural shift, establishing Dify as the blueprint for democratizing AI across the enterprise.
