What is Open WebUI?
Open WebUI is the most popular self-hosted chat interface for AI models — a polished, ChatGPT-style app you run yourself. Connect it to OpenAI-compatible APIs or a remote Ollama server, switch between models mid-conversation, organise chats, build prompt libraries and share access with your team.
The difference is where everything lives. With hosted chat products your prompts, documents and history sit in the vendor's cloud under the vendor's terms — and every seat costs a subscription. Open WebUI keeps conversations in your own database, uses API keys you control, and lets the whole team in without per-seat pricing.
On livemy.app you pick the Open WebUI template, click deploy, and your private chat workspace is live with SSL in about two minutes. Add your API keys in settings, invite the team, and every conversation from then on stays on a server you own.
Same app, no meter running
These tools are free and open source. What you normally pay for is someone else's server — and their pricing page.
