What it does
Coze Studio is a platform for creating AI agents and apps through visual tools. You can design workflows by connecting steps, add knowledge bases (documents the AI can draw on), plugins, databases and prompts, then test and publish the result.
It connects to AI model services such as OpenAI and Volcengine, and finished agents can be added to other apps through an API or chat toolkit. Its makers say it is the open core of their Coze development platform.
Who it's for
