interesting! I'm new to OpenWebUI so I'm curious, what parts does it give you?


Thanks. OpenWebUI provides the basic foundation for chatting with AIs.

We updated the regular chat to allow participant invitation and real-time group chat via sockets. We spent a lot of time adjusting system prompts and message meta data to ensure the LLM knows about individual participants at any given time.

We also made a ton of small adjustments to model selectors, tagging of users vs AI, tool execution (in particular web search) and chat controls.


Ah ok, so it's sort of an "ai chat starter app" that you can customize?


Yeah, OpenWebUI is incredibly powerful and very customizable.


hmm yeah it seems to get confused when I ask for something other than chords. I think it can be fixed with some schema description updates


It's a React app using NextJS, and behind the scenes it uses Tambo to respond to messages and automatically control the tabs component! https://github.com/tambo-ai/tambo
