1 Function Calling Plugin SystemBy building a powerful plugin ecosystem, ChatGPT not only can provide real-time news updates, but it can also assist you in easily querying documents and accessing various e-commerce data. This allows ChatGPT to play a key 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.
2 Prompt Agent MarketIn 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 around the world to enjoy your wisdom.
3 Progress Web AppUtilize 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
4 Theme Mode SelectionLobeChat 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.
5 Mobile Device AdaptationWe 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 a self-hosted version with Vercel. This allows you to build your own chatbot within a few minutes, without any prior knowledge. If you want to deploy this service yourself, you can follow these steps:
Note
This project provides some additional configuration items, set with environment variables:
| Environment Variable | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
OPENAI_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.cnThe default value is https://api.openai.com |
ACCESS_CODE | No | Add a password to access this service, the password should be a 6-digit number or letter | awCT74 or e3@09! |
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 accurately detect updates. We suggest you redeploy using the following steps, 📘 Maintaining Updates with LobeChat Self-Deployment.
| NPM | Repository | Description | Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| @lobehub/ui | lobehub/lobe-ui | Lobe UI is an open-source UI component library dedicated to building AIGC web applications. |  |
| @lobehub/lint | lobehub/lobe-lint | LobeLint provides configurations for ESlint, Stylelint, Commitlint, Prettier, Remark, and Semantic Release for LobeHub. |  |
| @lobehub/assets | lobehub/assets | Logo assets, favicons, webfonts for LobeHub. |
Plugins provide a means to extend the Function Calling capabilities of LobeChat. They can be used to introduce new function calls, and even new ways to render message results. If you are interested in plugin development, please refer to our 📘 Plugin Development Guide in the Wiki.
Note

- Plugin Phase 1: Implement separation of the plugin from the main body, split the plugin into an independent repository for maintenance, and realize dynamic loading of the plugin.
- Plugin Phase 2: The security and stability of the plugin's use, more accurately presenting abnormal states, the maintainability of the plugin architecture and developer-friendly.
