About Open WebUI
Open WebUI has established itself as the go-to web platform for self-hosted AI. With over 125,000 GitHub stars, 282 million downloads and a community of 340,000 members, it's the most popular open source AI interface project in the world.
The concept is simple but powerful: provide a ChatGPT-style web interface that you host on your own infrastructure. Open WebUI connects to any backend — Ollama for local models, but also OpenAI, Anthropic or any compatible service. Your data stays exactly where you decide.
The interface is feature-rich: multi-model conversational chat, RAG with document upload, built-in web search, image generation, text-to-speech, Python code execution, and a community marketplace of prompts, tools and functions shared by users.
For teams and enterprises, Open WebUI offers SSO, RBAC (role-based access control), audit logs and multi-user management. Deployment is via Docker in a single command, with Kubernetes support for large-scale deployments.
The extensible architecture allows adding custom Python pipelines, RAG tools, search and execution functions. It's much more than a simple chat interface: it's a complete AI platform you fully control.
