Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Open WebUI to run and manage large language models on your own servers or local computer. It provides a web-based chat interface that connects with Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other model providers. You can upload documents for retrieval-augmented generation, use voice and vision capabilities, and create custom prompts or agent skills. The system supports Python pipelines to add custom functions, integrates role-based access control and single sign-on for organizations, and ensures all prompt data and conversations remain completely private on your hardware.
