What it does

Open-webui provides a user-friendly interface to interact with AI models from Ollama and OpenAI API, allowing founders to leverage AI capabilities without extensive technical expertise

When to use it

•When you need to quickly test and validate AI-driven ideas without writing extensive code
•When your team requires an intuitive interface to work with AI models for content generation or data analysis
•When you want to deploy a web-based AI interface for your users or customers to interact with

Ready-to-paste prompt

python script.py --model ollama --prompt 'Generate a product description for a new smartwatch'

Heads up: You need to obtain a valid API key from Ollama or OpenAI and configure it in the `config.json` file before using the interface, as the tool will not function without a properly set up API connection
