Open WebUI + talkd.ai/Dialog: RAG deployment and Development made easy with awesome UI!

Hey fellow devs and open-source enthusiasts! πŸŽ‰ We've got some awesome news that's going to supercharge the way you build and interact with RAGs.

We're super excited to announce that Open WebUI is our official front-end for RAG development. It's a total match!

For those who don't know what talkd.ai/Dialog is:

talkd.ai/Dialog: the brain of the RAGs

Now, talkd.ai/Dialog is where the magic of conversation happens. Our dialog API makes it a breeze to build chatbots and virtual assistants that actually understand what users are saying and can ensure appropriate context is being passed to the prompt.

Why talkd.ai/Dialog is a Game-Changer:

  • Smart as Heck: Uses top-notch natural language processing to get what users mean.
  • Context-Aware: Keeps track of conversation context so it doesn’t sound like a broken record.
  • Scalable: Can handle a ton of simultaneous chats without breaking a sweat.
  • Integration Friendly: Plug it into just about anything – WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, you name it and you can build your own plugin!

OpenWebUI: The Universal Web Interface

OpenWebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted WebUI designed to operate entirely offline. It supports various LLM runners, including Ollama and OpenAI-compatible APIs. For more information, be sure to check out our Open WebUI Documentation.

Key Features of OpenWebUI:

  • Effortless Setup: Install seamlessly using Docker or Kubernetes for a hassle-free experience

  • Ollama/OpenAI API Integration: Effortlessly integrate OpenAI-compatible APIs for versatile conversations alongside Ollama models. Customize the OpenAI API URL to link with LMStudio, GroqCloud, Mistral, OpenRouter, and more.

  • Pipelines, Open WebUI Plugin Support: Seamlessly integrate custom logic and Python libraries into OpenWebUI using Pipelines Plugin Framework. Examples include Function Calling, User Rate Limiting, Usage Monitoring, Live Translation, Toxic Message Filtering, and much more.

What do I need to do to use talkd.ai/dialog with Open WebUI?

To use both, you just need to clone talkd.ai/dialog repository from GitHub using the command below:



git clone https://github.com/talkdai/dialog.git


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And run



docker-compose -f docker-compose-open-webui.yml


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will build the docker and will enable you to access your localhost:3000 server of Open WebUI with talkd.ai already setup.

If everything went fine, you will be able to sign up locally on Open WebUI and reach a page like the one below:

Hope you like this collab!

Hugs from me and the talkd.ai team!
