What it is and why it matters

Open WebUI is a self-hosted, ChatGPT-style chat interface for interacting with local and external models. In the video it is installed (with Docker) as an agent front-end, replacing the terminal UI with a more comfortable web one. It brings conversation management, model switching, file uploads, notes and tools like web search or image generation.

Key points
