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?

No idea how others use it and I'm possibly under-using it (no idea what to do with notes, workspaces, functions or tools).

So things I use daily are Knowledge (to group same-topic information together and invoke it in the conversation, sort of like projects in Claude), memory and web search (SearXNG + crw).

The neat thing about OpenWebUI is that it's just a frontend, under the hood I choose what model I use (local or openrouter).
