Run AI on your own terms. Connect any model, extend with code, and protect what matters without compromise. Your models, your data, your machine, wherever you open it.
Freedom is self-hosted. Your AI, running on your own ground, wherever you are.
Open WebUI is the platform for running AI on your own terms. Connect to any model, local or cloud. Extend with Python. Share what you build, run what others share. Yours to keep, wherever you take it.
Every model, every conversation, and every tool in one place. Connect to Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, or anything compatible. Run locally, in the cloud, or both. Data stays exactly where it belongs.
DocumentationFrom startups to global enterprises. SSO, RBAC, audit logs, data residency, and on-premises or air-gapped deployment for regulated industries. One platform. Complete control. No compromises.

“Open WebUI is being built so everyone can run AI for themselves. Not rent it. Not depend on it. Own it. Self-sufficient, adaptable, and ready for wherever humanity goes, from a laptop to the stars.”
One command. 60 seconds. No account required. Run it anywhere.

Open WebUI v0.12.0 adds realtime voice calls that hand real questions to your own model, animated 3D avatars for the voice, multi-factor sign-in, model controls such as a Thinking slider, nested groups with per-group default models, replies in shared chats, and version history for models, tools, and skills.

A local model missed a date sitting in six tiny files. Retrieval got it. Open Terminal turned the same files into a chart, checked totals, a DOCX report, and a spreadsheet. Sometimes the answer is neither a bigger model nor another retrieval tweak.

What Open WebUI's plugin system actually is: Tools that give models new abilities, Functions that rewire the platform, a community library of both, and how to install or write your own safely.
