# Open WebUI

## Description

**Open WebUI** provides a clean, fast chat interface for working with local AI models (e.g., via Ollama). It delivers a ChatGPT-like experience on your own infrastructure to keep prompts and data private.

## Overview

End users access a web page, pick a model, and start chatting. Conversations remain on your servers. Admins can enable strict offline behavior so no external network calls occur. The UI can also point at OpenAI-compatible endpoints if needed.

## Features

* Familiar multi-chat interface with quick model switching
* Supports local backends (Ollama) and OpenAI-compatible APIs
* Optional **offline mode** for air-gapped environments
* File/paste input for summaries and extraction (model dependent)
* Suitable for teams: predictable, private, reproducible
