What is LobeHub?

LobeHub, which grew out of LobeChat, is a chat and agent platform with a strong focus on design. You create agents, give them tools and plugins, chat with many model providers, and let agents run scheduled work and report back. It deploys to Vercel and similar platforms or with Docker, and has desktop apps for Linux, macOS and Windows. The interface is available in more than a dozen languages.

Good fit if

  • You want a well-designed multi-model chat and agent workspace for yourself or a team.
  • You plan to run agents on schedules rather than only chatting with them.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need an OSI-approved license to build on: LibreChat is MIT.
  • You want a smaller self-hosted stack: the full Docker setup runs about ten services, including PostgreSQL and Redis.

Before you adopt it

LobeHub moved from MIT to the LobeHub Community License in June 2024. It is Apache 2.0 with added conditions: you may run it commercially unmodified, but distributing a derivative work needs a commercial license, so it is not open source by the OSI definition. The license also says contributors accept that LobeHub may change the terms later.
