Open WebUI
Self-hosted AI platform connecting local and cloud models, deployable with one command while keeping data under your control.
About Open WebUI
Open WebUI is a self-hosted AI platform that brings Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any compatible model into one interface. It runs locally, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment, keeping data in your own environment. Installation takes one command; the official site says it starts in about 60 seconds with no account required. Python extensions let users build and share AI applications. The platform provides enterprise capabilities such as SSO, RBAC, audit logs, and data residency, with local or physically isolated deployment for regulated industries. Everyone can use it for free; white-labeling and rebranding require an Enterprise License with optional benefits such as white-labeling and dedicated support.
