Coze

ByteDance

ByteDance's no-code bot-building platform: assemble LLM agents with plugins, knowledge bases and workflows, then publish them to chat apps, stores or your own channel in minutes.

Product preview

Overview

Coze is ByteDance's bet that the next wave of apps are chat bots, and that building them should feel like assembling a profile page rather than writing code: pick a model, add plugins (search, image tools, your own API), wire a knowledge base, sketch a workflow, and publish — to Discord, Telegram, Line, a storefront widget or the Coze store itself.

It sits between Chatbase (support-bot simplicity) and n8n/Dify (developer depth): more orchestration than the former, far less setup than the latter. The free tier is generous, monetization through the bot store is built in, and ByteDance's distribution muscle (especially in Asia) means real reach for published bots. Limits show at scale: complex multi-agent designs and strict data residency still push teams toward Dify or custom stacks.
