扣子

Coze (known in Chinese as 扣子) is a visual orchestration environment for turning AI capabilities into repeatable business processes. Rather than writing Prompts one at a time, teams assemble models, tools, knowledge sources, and conditional logic into connected flows that execute end to end. It is aimed at people who want dependable, inspectable AI behavior instead of a single chat reply.

What it does

The platform presents a dRAG-and-drop canvas where each step in a process is a node. Nodes are wired together to DeFine execution order, and variables cARRy data from one step to the next. This lets a user describe a multi-stage job — collect input, retrieve reference material, generate content, check the result, notify someone — and run it as one automated pipeline. Two flow styles are offered: a functional Workflow for one-shot or batch jobs, and a conversational flow that keeps context across multiple turns for chat-style experiences.

Key capabilities

• Model nodes that call hosted language models for generation, summarization, classification, or reasoning.
• Knowledge nodes that ground answers in private documents and FAQ collections to reduce fabricated responses.
• Control nodes for branching, looping over lists, parallel execution, and explicit start and end points.
• Integration nodes for plugins, structured Databases, third-party APIs, and custom code, allowing connection to internal systems.
• Multimodal handling that can combine text with image, audio, or Video Generation steps.
• debugging and observability such as step-by-step runs, variable inspection, execution logs, and failure alerts.
• templates that can be saved and shared so a working process is reused rather than rebuilt.

Who it is for

Coze suits Operations and marketing teams automating content production, support teams building assistants backed by internal knowledge, analysts stitching together data retrieval and reporting, and developers who want a fast prototype before comMITting to custom code. Because the interface is low-code, non-engineers can participate, though complex integrations still benefit from technical familiarity.

How to get started

1. Create an account and open the visual canvas.
2. Choose a functional workflow or a conversational flow depending on whether you need one-off execution or multi-turn dialogue.
3. Drag in nodes, connect them in order, and configure each node's inputs, prompt, or tool.
4. Run indiVidual steps to inspect variables and correct logic before publishing.
5. Publish to a chat platfORM, web page, or API endpoint, then monitor logs and iterate.

Pricing and access caveat

Plan details, usage limits, and model availability may vary by region and change over time, so confirm current terms on the official site before relying on them. The interface is primarily Chinese-language, and access outsIDE mainland China may be restricted or require additional setup. self-hosted or private deployment options are sometimes offered for Enterprise needs, and availability should be verified directly with the vendor.
