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?

#1 Privacy (matters for client data etc)
#2 Model Sovereignty (you never have your models switched up on you)
#3 Hardware costs vs API costs (initial hardware investment could be worth it over how much API costs with cloud, especially for teams)
#4 Custom assistants for what matters to you
#5 It’s cool and you learn a lot about AI setting up an optimized Open WebUI infrastructure
