How AI is used

Open WebUI is a self-hosted interface that acts as a hub for interacting with AI models. It supports connections to various models, including local options like Ollama or cloud-based services such as OpenAI and Anthropic, and can be deployed locally, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments.

The platform is designed for users ranging from startups to large enterprises. It includes tools for voice, vision, and retrieval, and supports customization through Python extensions.

For larger organizations, the software includes administrative controls such as Single Sign-On (SSO), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and audit logs. These features are designed to help businesses support security and compliance standards such as GDPR or HIPAA.

Buyers should confirm if they have the internal technical resources to manage a self-hosted deployment and whether they require enterprise licensing for rebranding or white-labeling needs.
