Anse is a minimal, self-hostable web UI for chatting with OpenAI's ChatGPT models (GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4) via the OpenAI API. Built with Astro and TypeScript, it can be deployed with one click to Vercel or Netlify and supports optional site password protection.

Use cases

  • self-host a ChatGPT web interface with my own API key
  • deploy a lightweight chat UI to Vercel or Netlify
  • chat with GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 in the browser
  • add password protection to a shared ChatGPT frontend
  • run a minimal alternative to the official ChatGPT site
  • demo an OpenAI-powered chat app locally with Node

When to choose

  • you want a minimal, easy-to-deploy ChatGPT frontend on your own domain
  • you need one-click Vercel/Netlify deployment with just an OpenAI API key
  • you want a lightweight UI without heavy dependencies

When to avoid

  • you need multi-model, multi-chat, or image-generation features (use the successor Anse repo or a fuller client)
  • you want a fully local/offline LLM without an OpenAI API key
  • you need enterprise features like team management or usage billing
