Pick FastGPT if chinese/English teams who will self-host a knowledge assistant and already have a model key. Pick Langflow if developers and applied-AI teams who want a visual LangChain-style graph they can still edit as Python. Skip FastGPT if people who want an English-only hosted studio with a printed card (Dify) or a simple local chat (Open WebUI). Skip Langflow if non-technical ops teams that need Slack/HubSpot
