3 The chat window

 

The chat window is the primary interface for interacting with the AI, allowing you to send prompts and receive responses.

This procedure describes the basic steps for interacting with an AI model using the Open WebUI chat window.

  1. At the top left of the chat window, verify that an AI model is selected. If no model is selected, select the preferred one from the drop-down list.

    Tip
    Tip: Your default model

    To make the selected model your default one, click Set as default next to the AI model name.

    Tip
    Tip: Multiple AI modules

    You can select multiple AI modules by clicking the plus sign next to the name of the already selected module.

  2. Enter your prompt that you want AI to process in the chat input field.

    Tip
    Tip: Audio prompt

    If you prefer speaking rather than writing, click the small microphone icon to the right of the chat input field. Then say your prompt aloud and click the small check mark when finished.

  3. Confirm with Enter or click the "up" arrow on the right of the chat input field so that the AI model can process your prompt. Wait for the response. .AI answering with two models openwebui_2_responses

  4. Depending on the number of selected AI models, one or multiple responses arrive. Below each response, there is a set of icons that help you perform the following tasks on the response:

    • Edit the response in a Markdown format in case you want to copy it for later use.

    • Copy the response to the clipboard.

    • Let Open WebUI read the response aloud.

    • Mark the response as good or bad. This way, the model learns to more effectively address the same or related subjects.

    • Regenerate the response if you are not happy with its current version. You can then cycle between individual versions of responses with the small left and right arrows.
