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
