Lok3sh-Kumar 005c2e4cd1 feat: add Open WebUI AI chat integration and widget
Adds a new "openWebUi" integration kind (under a new "ai" category) and an
AI Chat widget for chatting with models served by Open WebUI.

- Integration: Bearer API key auth, model list, native chat history CRUD, and
  token-by-token streaming chat completions (SSE).
- Widget: in-input model picker, streaming responses, and an in-widget history
  panel. Reconstructs conversations from Open WebUI's message tree with a flat
  fallback.
- Streaming is delivered over the WebSocket subscription link.
- Adds integration and widget documentation.

import { WidgetHeader } from "@site/src/components/widgets/header";

<WidgetHeader widget={openWebUiWidget} categories={["AI", "Chat"]} />
The AI Chat widget lets you chat with AI models served by Open WebUI directly from your dashboard. Responses stream in token-by-token, you can pick any model your Open WebUI instance exposes (Ollama, OpenAI, and other configured providers), and you can browse and reopen your Open WebUI chat history.
### Supported Integrations
<WidgetIntegrations
items={[
{
integration: openWebUiIntegration,
},
]}
/>
### Adding the widget
<AddingWidget />
### Configuration
<WidgetConfig configuration={openWebUiWidget.configuration} />
### Features
| Feature | Description |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Model picker** | Lists every model exposed by Open WebUI's `/api/models` endpoint, selectable from the chat input. The first model is selected by default. |
| **Streaming responses** | Assistant replies stream in live as they are generated. |
| **Chat history** | Browse and reopen previous chats. New conversations are saved back to Open WebUI. |
### Notes
- The widget uses a single Open WebUI integration.
- Conversations are stored in Open WebUI itself, under the account that owns the API key, so they also appear in the Open WebUI app.
