LiteLLM is a sophisticated LLM proxy, available as open-source software for self-hosting, as well as production-grade deployments on infrastructure or even fully managed cloud solutions. This article starts a new blog series and explores the rich feature set of LiteLLM. This first article discusses features, deployment options, and a step-by-step manual for local setup as Docker containers.
This is the final article of my Open WebUI investigation. It takes another turn at agent definition, detailing skill and tool definition, and showing how to invoke agents automatically via schedules and through a remote chat interface.
This article focuses on the step-by-step creation of a coding agent. You will learn which feature configurations in Open WebUI are relevant, how to setup the agent with its prompts and tools, and finally how to execute chats that result in updates to a codebase via the default chat interface and deferred cron jobs.
With the prior documentation of Open WebUI user settings, this article explores all admin configuration options. Learn to navigate the configuration options landscape, and understand defaults for base models and connections, web search, and connections to a terminal code execution environment and built-in databases.
Open WebUI features an extensive list of configuration options, somewhat hidden and scattered between user and admin settings. This articles explores, explaines, and systematically groups all user settings. Learn about custom model definitions, automations, the model playground, and various GUI and model-calling configuration options.
This article explores the essential Open WebUI chat features. Learn about chat conversations essentials, see how notes and knowledge spaces are created, and understand the different options to provide chat context.
LLMs are a fascinating technology. Trained on a sufficient subset of the public internet and other curated sources, they are knowledge experts in many fields. Chat interfaces for LLMs have become a daily helper for many knowledge workers. Open WebUI is one of the first projects, and its feature set is impressive. In this first article, you will learn how to setup the app as a Docker container, and connect it with an LLM provider.
In 2026, agentic AI tools and frameworks generated much interest form technical and non-technical users alike. On the forefront of all of these tools lies OpenClaw, the most popular open-source project of that catapulted agents into mainstream usage. This article covers the complete installation steps and setup. You will learn how to install openclaw on your local computer, and setup Telegram as the communication channel.
In 2026, the AI agent paradigm is a technical reality, and it keeps evolving rapidly. Commercial products include agent-like capabilities in their products, from the universal ChatGPT, to knowledge organisation with Notion and web search with Perplexity. Open-source frameworks likewise evolved: Chat interfaces with session persistence like OpenWebUI, personal agent frameworks like OpenClaw and Hermes, and several coding tools like Droid, Kilo, and Pi. In this new blog series, agent applications and their capabilities will be the focus.
Claude Codes uses an agentic loop that processes a request, adds the system prompts and other context information, suggests tools calls, evaluates them, and modifies files. In this loop, several extension mechanisms can be used, modifying the behavior of loop actions. Learn about hooks, skills, custom sub aggents, and MCP server integration
