Open WebUI

beginner

A ChatGPT-like interface for local AI models. Give your team a familiar chat experience on your own hardware.

Open WebUI is an open-source chat interface that connects to Ollama and other local LLM backends, providing your team with a polished, ChatGPT-like experience that runs entirely on your network. It supports multi-user accounts, conversation history, document upload for RAG, model switching, and admin controls. For businesses deploying private AI, Open WebUI is the front door: employees interact with a familiar chat interface while all data stays on-premise. PxlPeak deploys Open WebUI as the user-facing layer of private AI installations, configured with your branding, access controls, and pre-loaded knowledge bases.

Implementation: 1 week
Pricing: Free and open-source. Runs alongside Ollama on the same hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Open WebUI different from just using Ollama?

Ollama is the engine that runs AI models. Open WebUI is the interface your team sees. It adds user accounts, conversation history, document upload for RAG, and admin controls on top of Ollama's API.

Can non-technical employees use Open WebUI?

Yes. It looks and works like ChatGPT. Anyone who has used ChatGPT can use Open WebUI immediately. No technical knowledge required.

Can I control which models each team member can access?

Yes. The admin panel lets you assign models and system prompts per user or group. You can give legal a model fine-tuned for contracts while giving marketing a model optimized for content.

Does it support document upload?

Yes. Users can upload PDFs, Word documents, and other files directly into the chat. Open WebUI processes them into a vector store for RAG, so the AI can answer questions about the uploaded content.

How PxlPeak Scaled Operations with AI Automation

As PxlPeak grew, the manual workload for lead qualification, content drafting, and client reporting became a scalability bottleneck. The agency was stuck in a high-headcount, low-margin trap, where every new client required a linear increase in manual labor. Additionally, our digital infrastructure lacked the technical hardening required for enterprise-level B2B sales, with fragmented systems and inconsistent data security protocols.

VM Power Construction: 0 to 493 Organic Clicks and 212K Impressions in 90 Days

VM Power Construction & Remodeling LLC is the parent of a four-division Lehigh Valley contracting family: VM Power Construction (general remodeling, formed 2018 with founder Vincent Karaca's trade history since 2003), VM Power Decks (the legacy V&M Power brand since 2005), VM Power Exteriors (roofing, siding, gutters), and VM Power Flooring (hardwood, LVP, tile, refinishing). Each division operates independently, its own brand, phone, office, team, and website, while the parent LLC holds the licenses (PA HIC #158550, NJ HIC #13VH11744800) and the BBB A-rated profile with 448 reviews on Google. Despite 22+ years of trade reputation and a real customer base, the four division websites were ranking nowhere outside of direct branded searches. Schema across the four sites operated in entity-graph silos, no parent-child Organization references, conflicting NAP, fragmented aggregateRating placements, and zero shared content cluster. None of the four domains showed up for the high-intent informational queries (renovation cost, permit guidance, ADU regulations) that Lehigh Valley homeowners actually search before hiring a contractor. The core problem wasn't visibility, it was that Google had no way to recognize the four divisions as one credentialed family operating across six office locations.
