Chat UI is an open-source chat interface built with SvelteKit that lets you easily connect to different AI language models using any service that works with the OpenAI API format, such as Hugging Face, llama.cpp, Ollama, or OpenRouter[5]. You can quickly set it up on your computer by cloning the project, setting a few environment variables (like your API key and database connection), and running simple commands to start the app—no need to be an expert[5]. The main benefit is that you get a modern, customizable chat app that works with many AI models, making it simple to experiment, build, and share your own AI-powered chat experiences without starting from scratch.
