My first open source project

and as to define what it is basically its an AI chat interface just any mainstream ai chat service but the major difference its completely free and opensource meaning anyone can run and use it it works on BYOA concept merging major free providers into one hood and basically trying to deliver every feautre of a premium service without any credit limit or usage limit with full user control and main reason of developing this was the constant frustration of finding a platform where i can access open models without any limit or daily credit despite free api access being their no platform had a perfect place for mutli purpose need usage so i build enzo in order to put some effort in eliminating user hassle and giving them quality experience

yeah fair, they do overlap on the basics. honestly if you want to run local models, openwebui is the better tool today and I'd tell you to just use it it's way more mature and the ecosystem is huge.

enzo comes at it from the other side. no local model setup at all, you paste your own api key (openrouter, groq, gemini, whatever you already have) and requests go from your instance straight to that provider. i built it cause I was already paying for provider keys and wanted everything on my own box instead of scattered across 5 different chat apps.

the other difference is it's more an agent workspace than a chat ui. stuff like "scan my unread gmail and draft replies" or "find me a slot on my calendar next week" works right after oauth — you don't go hunting for community plugins or wiring tools yourself. it also generates full-stack web apps and serves them from the same instance, which openwebui doesn't really do.

and it's plain apache 2.0 (openwebui moved to a custom license with branding requirements a while back, which annoyed a bunch of people at the time)

so yeah same shelf, different product imo. got a gpu and want local models then openwebui. already have api keys and want the thing to actually go do stuff for you then enzo
