Been working on a #opensource GUI that allows you to connect to any #AI provider (even local like #ollama ) and have a unified chat history, characters, tools, documents etc.

A bit like OpenWebUI but aims to be more user friendly and lighter (but hopefully just as powerful!)

It's called #CompassAI - built with React Native so it's possible to compile for pretty much any platform including as mobile Android and iOS app

@semperverus Damn, that's crazy! Different technology but very similar aesthetic. I'm a bit jealous that they already have Windows and MacOS builds working - I'm struggling a bit with that but I know I'll get there sooner or later ;)

i'd also recommend adding a way to pull the models (say for ollama this is trivial). that's one of the things I liked about owui

@hayk Already there - models can be pulled inside the "Providers" section if you have Ollama added

But I'd like to make it more apparent and easier (perhaps accessible straight from the front page)

great! thanks for the reply. one other use-case that crossed my mind is an ability to write simple API requests in the GUI. for example, if you want to automatize a bunch of requests within the app itself, or control the format of its response to requests by an external app (basically tunneling them through your app). not sure how useful it is to others, and perhaps this is more easily achievable by simply writing a python script. but I think some ai companies do have this built in to their web interfaces.
