Web interface for AI models, including Ollama and OpenAI-compatible APIs.

Open WebUI is a self-hosted interface for chatting with language models through Ollama and OpenAI-compatible services. It combines model conversations with document retrieval, web search, and extensible tools, letting users provide additional context and actions to their assistants. Deployment options include Python packages, Docker, and Kubernetes, with roles and groups for managing access in shared installations.
