- 📚 **Local RAG Integration**: Dive into the future of chat interactions with the groundbreaking Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) support. This feature seamlessly integrates document interactions into your chat experience. You can load documents directly into the chat or add files to your document library, effortlessly accessing them using `#` command in the prompt. In its alpha phase, occasional issues may arise as we actively refine and enhance this feature to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
- 🌐 **Web Browsing Capability**: Seamlessly integrate websites into your chat experience using the `#` command followed by the URL. This feature allows you to incorporate web content directly into your conversations, enhancing the richness and depth of your interactions.
- 📜 **Prompt Preset Support**: Instantly access preset prompts using the `/` command in the chat input. Load predefined conversation starters effortlessly and expedite your interactions. Effortlessly import prompts through [Open WebUI Community](https://openwebui.com/) integration.
- 👍👎 **RLHF Annotation**: Empower your messages by rating them with thumbs up and thumbs down, facilitating the creation of datasets for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). Utilize your messages to train or fine-tune models, all while ensuring the confidentiality of locally saved data.
- ⬆️ **GGUF File Model Creation**: Effortlessly create Ollama models by uploading GGUF files directly from the web UI. Streamlined process with options to upload from your machine or download GGUF files from Hugging Face.
- 🧩 **Modelfile Builder**: Easily create Ollama modelfiles via the web UI. Create and add characters/agents, customize chat elements, and import modelfiles effortlessly through [Open WebUI Community](https://openwebui.com/) integration.
- ⚙️ **Many Models Conversations**: Effortlessly engage with various models simultaneously, harnessing their unique strengths for optimal responses. Enhance your experience by leveraging a diverse set of models in parallel.
- 💬 **Collaborative Chat**: Harness the collective intelligence of multiple models by seamlessly orchestrating group conversations. Use the `@` command to specify the model, enabling dynamic and diverse dialogues within your chat interface. Immerse yourself in the collective intelligence woven into your chat environment.
- 🤝 **OpenAI API Integration**: Effortlessly integrate OpenAI-compatible API for versatile conversations alongside Ollama models. Customize the API Base URL to link with **LMStudio, Mistral, OpenRouter, and more**.
- 🗣️ **Voice Input Support**: Engage with your model through voice interactions; enjoy the convenience of talking to your model directly. Additionally, explore the option for sending voice input automatically after 3 seconds of silence for a streamlined experience.
- ⚙️ **Fine-Tuned Control with Advanced Parameters**: Gain a deeper level of control by adjusting parameters such as temperature and defining your system prompts to tailor the conversation to your specific preferences and needs.
- 🔗 **External Ollama Server Connection**: Seamlessly link to an external Ollama server hosted on a different address by configuring the environment variable.
- 🔐 **Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)**: Ensure secure access with restricted permissions; only authorized individuals can access your Ollama, and exclusive model creation/pulling rights are reserved for administrators.
- 🔒 **Backend Reverse Proxy Support**: Bolster security through direct communication between Open WebUI backend and Ollama. This key feature eliminates the need to expose Ollama over LAN. Requests made to the '/ollama/api' route from the web UI are seamlessly redirected to Ollama from the backend, enhancing overall system security.
