Your Partner for Running Open WebUI.

We run Open WebUI for you – on-premise, in our Austrian data center, or as a workspace. We fully handle security patches, updates, and backups. Your data never leaves your company.

Introduction & Support – Purposefully to a Productive System

Open WebUI is the most widely used open-source interface for local AI models – over 145,000 GitHub stars, an active community, constant development. Powerful and free, but secure operation is the hurdle: regular maintenance, timely updates, and frequent releases requiring compatibility testing, backup, and recovery – keeping that under control long-term takes real know-how. That's exactly what we take off your hands: we support you from day one through ongoing care – tailored to your needs, with ready-made use cases that deliver value from the start.

Step 1

Requirements Workshop

Together with you, we align on the requirements for your on-premise AI solution: goals, user groups, data sources, and security and compliance requirements. If needed, we also define the right, future-proof hardware configuration.

Step 2

System Setup & Configuration

We set up Open WebUI and the AI models, configure the system, and adjust every setting – including integration with your existing IT such as LDAP/AD, data sources, and interfaces.

Step 3

Use Case Workshop

In a further workshop, we define the detailed requirements for your use cases. We also bring ready-made use cases and agents from our portfolio that deliver value right away.

Step 4

Implementation & Close Support

The use cases are implemented directly with you, with close support – your teams are hands-on from the start and build their own know-how.

"We used to have to dedicate someone internally to constantly maintain and secure Open WebUI. With headwAI, they handle all of that for us – saving us many work hours every month that now go straight back into our core business."

FAQs

What can headwAI do for your business?

Why not self-host Open WebUI?

With headwAI, we handle hardening, automated patches, encryption, and compliance monitoring for your Open WebUI instance. That saves infrastructure, maintenance, and security costs, and reduces the risk of data leaks.

Is it safe for confidential, legal, or personal data?

Yes. Our Open WebUI operation is designed for trusted environments. All data is stored and transmitted encrypted, never shared with third parties, and user access integrates fully with your LDAP/Active Directory – every action remains auditable. The instance is 100% GDPR-compliant.

Do your employees need special training?

No. The platform is as easy to use as a messaging app. Anyone can ask questions or get AI assistance in plain language. No technical background is required.

What can the AI do with our internal documents?

You can upload policies, manuals, PDFs, or entire wikis. The AI then answers questions based on this content – with source citations. It works like an intelligent search engine that understands natural language.

Can we assign access rights differently by department or role?

Yes. Permissions can be assigned per user, group, or department. Each team can have its own knowledge bases, prompt templates, and model access – centrally managed, with cross-connections only where you explicitly allow them.

Does this make us dependent on another vendor again?

No. Open WebUI is open source – you're not locked into a single vendor. headwAI operates the instance for you, but the code, data, and infrastructure remain open and portable. You retain full control.

What costs are involved?

You pay a transparent license/subscription model (monthly or annual) that covers operation, updates, support, and optionally hardware. Open WebUI itself remains free – you pay for the operation, security, and onboarding, not for the software.

Is there a trial period?

Yes. We offer live demos and trial periods so you can try the platform in your own environment with your content and workflows.

What hosting options are available?

• On-premise on your own company server • Managed hosting in Austria – GDPR-compliant, EU data center, fully managed by headwAI • Browser instance – no installation, no IT effort, ready to use instantly

Can we control which models are used - and keep internal models private?

Absolutely. You can deploy your own local LLMs, use open-source models, or allow access to external APIs if needed. Internal and external models are strictly separated – you decide who can use what.

Can the platform be integrated into our intranet or existing tools?

Yes. Open WebUI offers a robust API that lets you embed AI functionality into your internal portals, service desks, or apps – enabling a seamless experience for your users.

What about performance and scalability?

Open WebUI is built for scalability. With multi-user handling and a modular architecture, it supports thousands of concurrent users without latency. Whether 500 or 50,000 employees, the instance adapts to your growth.

Is the platform available on mobile?

Yes. It's fully responsive and available as a Progressive Web App (PWA). That means users can install it on mobile devices and even use it offline in certain scenarios.

How do we monitor usage and system status?

You get full transparency. With built-in monitoring, your IT team can track performance, usage metrics, and potential issues in real time – all without relying on third-party analytics.
