Open WebUI

Open WebUI is a an AI interface which is self hosted and can be extended to your needs. Your RheinInsights Retrieval Suite deployment can be integrated into Open WebUI as a search provider, for instance as a tool.

This way, your users will gain relevant answers through our query pipelines. In particular, our query pipelines can be queried in a way so that security trimming takes place. In turn, answers will always be only generated based on documents the users are allowed to see in the underlying knowledge sources.
