About this tag
Open WebUI is a self-hosted AI interface that lets Windows users manage Ollama, LM Studio, cloud APIs, document chat, and multi-user controls from a single browser.

The tag is relevant for Windows users seeking a unified web-based front end for their AI tools and for those comparing deployment options on Windows systems.
