chatbot-ui

Why we included this project

Chatbot UI is a self-hostable chat frontend that saves you from building a conversation interface from scratch. It's a full Next.js app with streaming chat, message history, and multi-modal support, and it works with whatever model you bring, whether that's an API key or a local setup like Ollama. The 2.0 rewrite moved data storage from browser localStorage to Supabase, which makes it practical for real deployments where you need persistent conversations and multi-user access rather than a throwaway demo. Teams that want to run their own ChatGPT-style experience, or developers looking for a codebase to fork and customize, will find the setup well documented. Just keep in mind it's a frontend, not a model or framework, so you'll need to supply the model yourself.
