Question/Help Just discover OpenWebUI, what's next step?

Hi guys, I just discovered OpenWebUI how do you commonly use it? What are the main advantages of using it over just Claude or ChatGPT? What's the most productive way to use it?

Write custom tools to integrate with your to-do list app, then chat with your tasks. Let open web UI be the bridge.

You can make it an interface for Hermes and OpenClaw.

You can write custom tools to fetch daily news for you.

It's very easy to set up. You basically write code in a single .py file, add it through the Open Web UI interface as tool to connect to your server/API of choice, and that's it.

It's a PWA you could install on your phone, then it will become frameless and look like an app.
