By building a robust plugin ecosystem, ChatGPT cannot only provide real-time news updates but can also assist you in efficiently querying documents and accessing various e-commerce data. This allows ChatGPT to play a vital role in a wider range of fields. If you are interested in writing plugins, we provide detailed component development documentation, SDKs, and template files in the 🧩 Plugin System section below. Let's work together to make ChatGPT more powerful and easier to use.
In our agent market, we have accumulated a large number of practical, prompt agents that have been used in daily work and study. You can also share your agents here and iterate and optimize your prompt agents with more people. You can submit your agents through 🤖/🏪 Submit Agents, and our automated i18n workflow will automatically translate your agents into multiple languages, allowing users worldwide to enjoy your wisdom.
Utilize the Progressive Web Application (PWA) technology to achieve a seamless LobeChat experience on your computer or mobile device.
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:
- Launch the Chrome or Edge browser on your computer
- Visit the LobeChat webpage
- In the upper right corner of the address bar, click on the Install icon
- Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the PWA installation
LobeChat offers two unique theme modes - Light Mode and Dark Mode, as well as rich color customization options to meet your personalized needs. By default, our themes will intelligently switch based on your system settings, but if you prefer manual control, you can easily switch in the settings.
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.
🚧 Additional snapshots and demonstrations are being progressively added...

LobeChat provides Self-Hosted Version with Vercel and Docker Image. This allows you to deploy your own chatbot within a few minutes without any prior knowledge.
If you want to deploy this service yourself on Vercel, you can follow these steps:
- Prepare your OpenAI API Key.
- Click the button below to start deployment: Deploy with Vercel. Log in directly with your GitHub account, and remember to fill in the
OPENAI_API_KEY(required) andACCESS_CODE(recommended) on the environment variable section. - After deployment, you can start using it.
- Bind a custom domain (optional): The DNS of the domain assigned by Vercel is polluted in some areas; binding a custom domain can connect directly.
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.
Important
We suggest you redeploy using the following steps, 📘 Maintaining Updates with LobeChat Self-Deployment.
We provide a Docker image for deploying the LobeChat service on your own private device. Use the following command to start the LobeChat service:
$ docker run -d -p 3210:3210 \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxx \
-e ACCESS_CODE=lobe66 \
lobehub/lobe-chatNote
If you need to use the OpenAI service through a proxy, you can configure the proxy address using theOPENAI_PROXY_URLenvironment variable:
$ docker run -d -p 3210:3210 \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxx \
-e OPENAI_PROXY_URL=https://api-proxy.com/v1 \
-e ACCESS_CODE=lobe66 \
