Lobe Chat

Lobe Chat is a modern, open chat interface that supports many AI providers, a knowledge base, plugins, and voice. It is designed to look great and be easy to self-host on Docker or Vercel. Note: it uses a source-available license, so distributing a modified derivative product requires a commercial license.

LobeChat (from LobeHub) is a polished, modern web chat interface that lets you talk to many AI providers and models through one app. It supports OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, local models via Ollama and many more, so you can switch models mid-workflow instead of juggling separate sites. On top of plain chat it adds retrieval over your own files (knowledge base/RAG), a large plugin and MCP tool ecosystem, voice input and text-to-speech, image generation, and shareable assistant 'agents' with custom prompts. It can be self-hosted in minutes via Docker or one-click deploys to platforms like Vercel, keeping your conversations and API keys under your control, and it also offers a hosted cloud version. It is used by individuals who want a nicer front-end for their own API keys and by teams wanting a customizable, feature-rich assistant. The code is based on Apache-2.0 but carries additional supplemental conditions, so certain commercial or modified-redistribution uses require a commercial license rather than being freely permitted.
