Zola is an open-source, self-hostable chat interface for interacting with multiple AI models including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, and local models via Ollama. It is built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and prompt-kit, with BYOK support through OpenRouter and emerging MCP support.
Use cases
- chat with multiple ai models in one interface
- self-host an open-source chatgpt alternative
- run a local chat ui with ollama models
- bring your own api key chat interface
- deploy a multi-model ai chat app on vercel
- open-source chat interface with mcp support
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, customizable chat UI for several LLM providers
- you want to chat with local models via Ollama with automatic detection
- you prefer BYOK via OpenRouter and full control over your data
- you want a modern Next.js/shadcn codebase to customize
When to avoid
- you need a production-hardened, stable release - it is a beta with an evolving codebase
- you want a fully managed hosted service without self-hosting
- you need advanced enterprise features like team management or SSO out of the box
