What is KNIME?
KNIME is a visual platform for preparing, blending and analyzing data in workflows without much code. The K-AI assistant builds workflows from prompts, and AI nodes connect language models to data pipelines. It suits analysts and data teams of any size.
The free KNIME Analytics Platform runs on your own computer, while the paid Pro, Team and Business Hub offerings add collaboration, scheduling and central management. KNIME AG is registered in Zurich. According to its trust center, KNIME does not process the data you work with, because workflows run on infrastructure you choose.
KNIME AI features and use cases

- Brings language models into pipelinesThe AI extension lets workflows call language models, including local models through Ollama. Teams can classify, summarize or extract text as one step in a data pipeline.
- Protects personal data before AI useMicrosoft Presidio nodes detect and anonymize personal data before a request reaches a GenAI provider, and guardrail workflows with Giskard nodes check answers for bias and hallucinations. Data protection officers get a documented control point.
