## What it is
Chatbot UI is an open-source, self-hostable web chat application for conversing with any AI model, with chat history and multi-model support backed by Supabase. It is a popular open-source alternative to ChatGPT's interface, written in TypeScript.

## Use cases
- self-host an open-source ChatGPT alternative
- chat with multiple AI models in one interface
- keep my AI chat history in my own database
- run a private AI chat app locally with Docker
- use OpenAI and other model providers through one UI
- deploy a team-internal AI chat assistant

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, model-agnostic chat UI with persistent history
- you prefer owning your chat data in your own Supabase/Postgres instance
- you want an open-source ChatGPT-style interface you can customize

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, actively maintained product - the repo has been quiet since mid-2024 pending a promised big update
- you want a simple setup without Docker and Supabase dependencies
- you need a backend-agnostic chat backend today rather than a frontend-focused app
