Langflow

Langflow (DataStax)

Low-code visual builder for AI agents and RAG workflows. Components are wired on a drag-and-drop canvas and flows are then exposed as APIs or run as agents. Against the code-first frameworks its differentiator is the visual editor with hundreds of pre-built components, while staying model-agnostic and extensible in Python.

Began as Logspace, was acquired by DataStax in 2024, and is now an IBM company. A managed cloud is sold beside the published platform. Verified 2026-08-13 via the langflow-ai/langflow repository and the Langflow product site.

Adoption

3 medium confidence
3.0

About 166,141 downloads a month across the product's real distribution channels. Docker Hub reports 3,408,830 cumulative pulls of langflowai/langflow since 2023-02-08, which over 42 months averages roughly 81,003 a month, and 85,138 come from PyPI in the trailing 30 days. Bands at level 3 (100K-1M). Langflow is distributed mainly as a Docker image and a desktop app, with the PyPI package only one of several install paths, so banding on the registry package alone would have measured a minority channel and given a materially lower level. The Docker component is a lifetime average rather than a trailing-30-day figure, so for a growing product it understates the current rate and this level is a floor.
