Explanation
Dify belongs here as a company layer, not as a one-off headline. The point is to keep the company attached to the right China AI bucket so builders can decide whether it deserves recurring review.
That is also why the next click matters: if the company changes model access, workflow tooling, physical AI deployment, or identity infrastructure, the reader should quickly land on the page that owns that narrower decision.
Framework
| Watch angle | Why builders care | Best first proof |
|---|---|---|
| Official company surface | Confirms what the company actually claims to build right now | Dify (official) |
| Product or technical surface | Shows whether the company changes a real builder decision instead of just generating headlines | Dify |
| Distribution or developer path | Clarifies whether the company is merely interesting or actually testable | Dify (official) |
How to verify the answer
Use Dify's official product and pricing surfaces first. That is the fastest way to confirm it as a real workflow platform rather than a vague AI tooling label.
