# I tried Open WebUI, AnythingLLM, and Odysseus to self-host my AI workflow, and only one delivered

**[XDA Developers](https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A hands-on comparison of three self-hosted AI workspace tools: AnythingLLM, Odysseus, and Open WebUI. AnythingLLM excels at persistent memory and isolated workspaces but feels stripped down. Open WebUI is the most mature with 350M+ downloads, offering Slack-style Channels, rich plugin support, and notes, but lacks personality. Odysseus, built by PewDiePie and launched just a month ago with 77k GitHub stars, stands out for its hardware-aware model Cookbook, AI-integrated to-do manager, notes panel, and surprisingly polished interface. The author picks Odysseus as the most compelling despite its novelty.
