Chatbot UI overhaul drops next week. It’s honestly really, really good. Powerful & polished. And as always, 100% open-source.

Stupid easy to run either locally or as your own deployed instance in the cloud. Really excited to see how people use it!

A little under the weather and would like to be 100% for launch as it’ll be fairly demanding, so pushing back a couple days. Friday or Monday - probably the latter. Everything is done though. Launch includes: - Hosted Models: OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Perplexity - Local Models: Anything on Ollama that’s not multi-modal (coming!) - Chat including both image and file capabilities. - OpenAI embeddings or local embeddings. - Granular chat settings. - Create chat setting presets for quick selection. - Prompts with / commands. - Files with @ commands. - Collections (groupings of files) with @ commands. - Assistants (think characters/GPTs, tools are on their way). - Import/export for everything. - Sharing features. - Authentication. - Profiles with profile context. - Workspaces with custom instructions. - Run locally or deploy hosted. - Integrated image/file storage. In progress: - Tools - External Data Sources & Integrations - Team Support - Surprise that I think is a huge addition to the chat landscape As always 100% open-source under MIT license!

Just to confirm, this will in fact be launching on Monday. As mentioned everything on that list is done. See you Monday!

Probably around 6pm PT

I hear your feedback. We’re working on a sqlite option. Expect that next week. We will use postgres in prod but will support a sqlite version that should be 1:1 compatible for easier local setup.

We’ll also have a free downloadable desktop app because it’s clear a lot of people want to use it without needing to set up anything. That’ll obviously be open-source.

Wow. I was about to convert to a different UI. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the update!

The old one at this point is dreadfully out of date haha

you should probably allow contributors to maintain the project I just tried it out some days ago (and it's really good) but 300+ issues none of them getting addressed and last activity 8 months ago

100% fair critique and V2 will look to change that
