Coze

Coze is an AI chatbot development platform launched by ByteDance, the company behind TikTok and Douyin. Designed to make AI bot creation accessible to everyone, Coze allows users to build fully customized AI assistants without writing a single line of code. Whether you are a solo creator, a small business owner, or an enterprise developer, Coze provides a powerful yet approachable suite of tools to bring your AI ideas to life.

At the heart of Coze's architecture is a flexible, modular design centered around four core pillars: plugins, workflows, knowledge bases, and scheduled tasks. Plugins extend your bot's capabilities by connecting to external services such as web search, weather APIs, news feeds, e-commerce platforms, and much more — all through a simple drag-and-drop interface. This allows bots to go beyond simple conversation and take real-world actions on behalf of users.

Workflows in Coze function as visual, node-based automation pipelines. You can chain together logic blocks, conditional branches, loops, and API calls to orchestrate complex, multi-step behaviors entirely through a graphical canvas — no programming required. Knowledge bases allow you to upload documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, or connect URLs so your bot can answer questions grounded in your specific content, making it ideal for customer support, internal documentation assistants, and educational tools.

One of Coze's defining strengths is its broad multi-model support. Users can choose from a variety of underlying large language models when building their bots, giving them flexibility to optimize for cost, speed, or capability depending on the use case. This includes support for models from major AI providers, allowing developers to select the best engine for their specific application.

Deployment is seamless across a wide range of platforms. Bots built on Coze can be published directly to Discord, Telegram, Slack, LINE, WhatsApp, and even embedded into custom websites via API or widget. This cross-platform flexibility makes Coze particularly attractive for communities, creators, and businesses that operate across multiple digital touchpoints. Coze has seen explosive growth especially in Asian markets, where its deep integration with ByteDance's ecosystem gives it a unique advantage.
