What is it?

This project is a multi-user chat web application for teams. It lets several users share one deployment, with the first registered account becoming the administrator. Conversations can be connected to OpenAI (including Azure), Claude, Gemini and locally hosted Ollama models, and each conversation starts with a system prompt that can be managed from a prompt library.

The app adds operational features aimed at shared or hosted use: a configurable rate limit (the default is 100 ChatGPT calls per 10 minutes), conversation snapshots that can be published as static share pages, and full-text search across saved conversations. Users can upload text files and multimedia files, subject to what the chosen model supports.

It also includes a built-in OpenAI-compatible gateway that issues virtual API keys for calling configured models, with streaming pass-through, per-key limits, request auditing and time-limited request/response samples. The mobile client is written in Flutter.
