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

Install / run

git clone https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui.git && cd open-webui

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

Quick start

1Run the command `python script.py` to start the server
2Open a web browser and navigate to `http://localhost:7860` to access the interface
3Configure your API keys in the `config.json` file to connect to Ollama or OpenAI API
4Use the `--model` flag to specify the AI model you want to use, for example, `python script.py --model ollama`
5Customize the interface by modifying the `templates` directory or adding new routes in the `app.py` file

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
