Key Features of Open WebUI ⭐ - 🚀 **Effortless Setup**: Install seamlessly via pip, uv, Docker, or Kubernetes (kubectl, kustomize, or helm), with `:ollama` and `:cuda` tagged images available for container deployments. - 🤝 **Broad Model & API Integration**: Connect any OpenAI-compatible API alongside local Ollama models. Point the API URL at **LMStudio, GroqCloud, Mistral, OpenRouter, vLLM, and more** to mix and match providers freely. - 🔐 **Granular RBAC & User Groups**: Administrators define detailed roles, groups, and permissions, giving each user exactly the access they need. Secure by default, with tailored experiences per group. - 🧩 **Plugin Support**: Extend Open WebUI with **Filters**, **Actions**, **Pipes**, **Tools**, and **Skills**. Connect external services through **MCP**, **MCPO**, and **OpenAPI tool servers**. Build custom integrations, rate limits, approval flows, data connections, and more. - 🤖 **Models & Agents**: Wrap any base model with custom instructions, tools, and knowledge to build specialized agents. Supports dynamic variables, per-user/group access control, and community preset imports via Open WebUI Community. - 📝 **Notes**: A dedicated workspace for content outside conversations. Draft with a rich editor, use AI to rewrite selected text, and attach notes to any chat for full-context injection. - 📢 **Channels**: Real-time shared spaces where your team and AI models collaborate in one timeline. Tag models to draft or critique, with threads, reactions, pins, and access control. - 🧠 **Persistent Memory**: The AI remembers facts about you across conversations, carrying context from one chat to the next. - ✅ **Live Workflow & Message Flow**: Watch the AI build and work through checklists in real time. Queue messages while the AI is still responding; they send automatically when it's ready. - 📅 **Calendar & AI Scheduling**: Built-in personal and shared calendars with month/week/day views, recurring events, color coding, attendees, and reminders. Models manage your schedule conversationally through native function calling. - ⏱️ **Automations**: Schedule prompts to run on recurring schedules, with runs surfaced on your calendar and each completed run linking back to the chat it produced. - 📱 **Responsive Design & PWA**: Seamless experience across desktop, laptop, and mobile, with a Progressive Web App for native app-like feel and offline access on localhost. - ✒️🔢 **Full Markdown and LaTeX Support**: Comprehensive Markdown and LaTeX capabilities for enriched interaction. - 🎤📹 **Hands-Free Voice/Video Call**: Integrated voice and video calls with multiple Speech-to-Text providers (Local Whisper, OpenAI, Deepgram, Azure) and Text-to-Speech engines (Azure, ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Transformers, WebAPI). - 💾 **Persistent Artifact Storage**: Built-in key-value storage API for artifacts, enabling journals, trackers, leaderboards, and collaborative tools with personal and shared data scopes. - 📚 **Local RAG Integration**: Retrieval Augmented Generation backed by 9 vector databases and multiple content-extraction engines (Tika, Docling, Document Intelligence, Mistral OCR, PaddleOCR-vl, external loaders). Supports hybrid search (BM25 + vector) with reranking and full-context mode. Load documents into chat or pull them from your library with the `#` command. - 🔍 **Web Search for RAG**: Search the web through dozens of providers including `SearXNG`, `Google PSE`, `Brave Search`, `Kagi`, `Mojeek`, `Tavily`, `Perplexity`, `Firecrawl`, `serpstack`, `serper`, `Serply`, `DuckDuckGo`, `SearchApi`, `SerpApi`, `Bing`, `Jina`, `Exa`, `Sougou`, `Azure AI Search`, and `Ollama Cloud`, injecting results directly into the conversation. - 🌐 **Web Browsing Capability**: Pull websites into chat with the `#` c
