What is Open WebUI?

Open WebUI is a user-friendly, feature-rich interface for (local) LLMs. You can 💬 chat with models, ⚙️ manage multiple setups, and 🧩 extend it with plugins - perfect for local AI experimentation.

What is Brave Search API?

The Brave Search API 🔍 powers the web search feature in Open WebUI, letting your local LLM fetch real-time web info while keeping the rest of your system 🔒 fully self-hosted.

This setup moves me closer to a fully self-hosted 🤝 AI assistant - combining local model inference 🧠 with live web search 🌍.
