Refly.AI is an open-source AI-native creation engine designed for complex tasks, targeting developers and power users. It aims to streamline idea-to-execution workflows by integrating multiple AI models, multimodal inputs, and interactive visualization tools, enabling the creation of interactive visualizations and web applications.

How It Works

Refly utilizes a multi-threaded architecture for parallel conversation management and agentic workflows. It integrates over 13 AI models, supporting hybrid scheduling and parallel processing. The platform handles multimodal inputs (text, images, files) and features a RAG-based retrieval system with intelligent knowledge graph construction. Key components include a free-form canvas, AI-enhanced editor, and code artifact generation for HTML, SVG, Mermaid, and React.
