chat.pdf.mp4In the continuous development of LobeChat, we deeply understand the importance of diversity in model service providers for meeting the needs of the community when providing AI conversation services. Therefore, we have expanded our support to multiple model service providers, rather than being limited to a single one, in order to offer users a more diverse and rich selection of conversations.
In this way, LobeChat can more flexibly adapt to the needs of different users, while also providing developers with a wider range of choices.
Supported Model Service ProvidersWe have implemented support for the following model service providers:
๐ Total providers: 42
At the same time, we are also planning to support more model service providers. If you would like LobeChat to support your favorite service provider, feel free to join our ๐ฌ community discussion.
To meet the specific needs of users, LobeChat also supports the use of local models based on Ollama, allowing users to flexibly use their own or third-party models.
LobeChat now supports OpenAI's latest gpt-4-vision model with visual recognition capabilities, a multimodal intelligence that can perceive visuals. Users can easily upload or drag and drop images into the dialogue box, and the agent will be able to recognize the content of the images and engage in intelligent conversation based on this, creating smarter and more diversified chat scenarios.
This feature opens up new interactive methods, allowing communication to transcend text and include a wealth of visual elements. Whether it's sharing images in daily use or interpreting images within specific industries, the agent provides an outstanding conversational experience.
LobeChat supports Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Speech-to-Text (STT) technologies, enabling our application to convert text messages into clear voice outputs, allowing users to interact with our conversational agent as if they were talking to a real person. Users can choose from a variety of voices to pair with the agent.
Moreover, TTS offers an excellent solution for those who prefer auditory learning or desire to receive information while busy. In LobeChat, we have meticulously selected a range of high-quality voice options (OpenAI Audio, Microsoft Edge Speech) to meet the needs of users from different regions and cultural backgrounds. Users can choose the voice that suits their personal preferences or specific scenarios, resulting in a personalized communication experience.
With support for the latest text-to-image generation technology, LobeChat now allows users to invoke image creation tools directly within conversations with the agent. By leveraging the capabilities of AI tools such as DALL-E 3, MidJourney, and Pollinations, the agents are now equipped to transform your ideas into images.
This enables a more private and immersive creative process, allowing for the seamless integration of visual storytelling into your personal dialogue with the agent.
The plugin ecosystem of LobeChat is an important extension of its core functionality, greatly enhancing the practicality and flexibility of the LobeChat assistant.
Plugin-Demo.mp4By utilizing plugins, LobeChat assistants can obtain and process real-time information, such as searching for web information and providing users with instant and relevant news.
In addition, these plugins are not limited to news aggregation, but can also extend to other practical functions, such as quickly searching documents, generating images, obtaining data from various platforms like Bilibili, Steam, and interacting with various third-party services.

LobeChat supports the use of both server-side and local databases. Depending on your needs, you can choose the appropriate deployment solution:
Regardless of which database you choose, LobeChat can provide you with an excellent user experience.
LobeChat supports multi-user management and provides two main user authentication and management solutions to meet different needs:
next-auth: LobeChat integrates next-auth, a flexible and powerful identity verification library that supports multiple authentication methods, including OAuth, email login, credential login, etc. With next-auth, you can easily implement user registration, login, session management, social login, and other functions to ensure the security and privacy of user data.

Regardless of which user management solution you choose, LobeChat can provide you with an excellent user experience and powerful functional support.
We deeply understand the importance of providing a seamless experience for users in today's multi-device environment. Therefore, we have adopted Progressive Web Application (PWA) technology, a modern web technology that elevates web applications to an experience close to that of native apps.
Through PWA, LobeChat can offer a highly optimized user experience on both desktop and mobile devices while maintaining its lightweight and high-performance characteristics. Visually and in terms of feel, we have also meticulously designed the interface to ensure it is indistinguishable from native apps, providing smooth animations, responsive layouts, and adapting to different device screen resolutions.
Note
If you are unfamiliar with the installation process of PWA, you can add LobeChat as your desktop application (also applicable to mobile devices) by following these steps:
We have carried out a series of optimization designs for mobile devices to enhance the user's mobile experience. Currently, we are iterating on the mobile user experience to achieve smoother and more intuitive interactions. If you have any suggestions or ideas, we welcome you to provide feedback through GitHub Issues or Pull Requests.
As a design-engineering-oriented application, LobeChat places great emphasis on users' personalized experiences, hence introducing flexible and diverse theme modes, including a light mode for daytime and a dark mode for nighttime. Beyond switching theme modes, a range of color customization options allow users to adjust the application's theme colors according to their preferences. Whether it's a desire for a sober dark blue, a lively peach pink, or a professional gray-white, users can find their style of color choices in LobeChat.
Tip
The default configuration can intelligently recognize the user's system color mode and automatically switch themes to ensure a consistent visual experience with the operating system. For users who like to manually control details, LobeChat also offers intuitive setting options and a choice between chat bubble mode and document mode for conversation scenarios.
Beside these features, LobeChat also have much better basic technique underground:
โจ more features will be added when LobeChat evolve.
Note
You can find our upcoming Roadmap plans in the Projects section.
LobeChat provides Self-Hosted Version with Vercel, Alibaba Cloud, and Docker Image. This allows you to deploy your own chatbot within a few minutes without any prior knowledge.
A Deploying with Vercel, Zeabur , Sealos or Alibaba Cloud
"If you want to deploy this service yourself on Vercel, Zeabur or Alibaba Cloud, you can follow these steps:
OPENAI_API_KEY(required) and ACCESS_CODE (recommended) on the environment variable section.After fork, only retain the upstream sync action and disable other actions in your repository on GitHub.
If you have deployed your own project following the one-click deployment steps in the README, you might encounter constant prompts indicating "updates available." This is because Vercel defaults to creating a new project instead of forking this one, resulting in an inability to detect updates accurately.
We provide a Docker image for deploying the LobeChat service on your own private device. Use the following command to start the LobeChat service:
$ mkdir lobe-chat-db && cd lobe-chat-db
bash <(curl -fsSL https://lobe.li/setup.sh)
This project provides some additional configuration items set with environment variables:
Environment Variable Required Description ExampleOPENAI_API_KEY Yes This is the API key you apply on the OpenAI account page sk-xxxxxx...xxxxxx OPENAI_PROXY_URL No If you manually configure the OpenAI interface proxy, you can use this configuration item to override the default OpenAI API request base URL https://api.chatanywhere.cn or https://aihubmix.com/v1
