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 b
