hello everyone this is Professor pattern

and in the next couple of videos we'll

be covering open web UI functions

pipelines tools and all of those things

in between we'll start off with this

video by covering tools now if you are

an advanced open web UI user the only

thing that you need to know is that a

tool is a python script that your large

language model can execute that's it you

can skip to the second part which is the

implementation step if you're a complete

beginner and had no idea what I just

said and stick around for the next part

so let's imagine a scenario where you

are a boss and you have an

assistant now if you ask your assistant

a question something like hey can you

grab me the transcript from this video

now your assistant is going to click on

this video and they'll see that okay

well this is actually a 10-minute video

by Professor patterns now I love

listening to Professor patterns but do I

have to actually manually type out every

single word from this video well that's

one way in which you could do this

another way is by simply creating a

python script the goal of the script is

to first go to the video then it's to

fetch the text from the video and then

print out the

transcript so the next time you ask this

question like hey can you grab the

transcript from this video your

assistant is going to be able to Simply

execute the script which will fetch the

video and then print out all of those

things from the transcript now this

script that your assist assistant has

created is what we in open web UI call a

tool so the goal of this tool which is

get transcript is to go fetch the video

grab the transcript and print out the

transcript similar to this tool we also

have a bunch of different tools like get

transcript get stock prices send out

automatic emails summarize meetings we

have a tool to convert image to text um

to create Jura tickets from meeting

notes all of these are examples of tools

and the goal here is that any single

time that you ask a question like hey

grab me the transcript from this video

your assistant knows that okay well

looks like in this case the tool that I

need to execute is get transcript or if

your question is something like hey send

an email to my wife wishing her for

Valentine's Day your assistant knows

that the tool to execute is send

automatic

emails now in this scenario your

assistant isn't obviously your assistant

it's a large language model so for

example this could be something like

Chach BT or deep seek or Gro or mistl or

the Lama 3 Model now what you're doing

is you're providing all of these llms

access to these tools so when you ask a

question like hey send an email to my

wife wishing her for Valentine's Day the

large language model is going to be able

to execute the tool for sending

automatic emails now here is what it's

going to look like on the open web UI

platform the first time you'll say

something like hey can you transcribe

this video and Chad gbt 40 is going to

come back to you and say look look sorry

I can't really transcribe that video but

you can try turning on um captions

that's not really helpful so what we'll

do is we'll provided access to the tool

now obviously I'm I didn't write this

tool by myself we have an entire

Community which I'm going to talk about

here in a second but this is a tool or a

script that I provided and the only

thing that I'll need to do is to

activate it which is basically to say

enable this tool so next time if I was

to ask a question like hey transcribe

this video it knows that this tool is

available so it executes this tool or

this script and then based on that it's

now able to actually transcribe this

video right hello everyone this is

Professor patterns and in this video you

get the idea so this is how a tool Works

a tool is a python script that your

large language model can execute so what

does this actually look like on the open

web UI interface well from your homepage

you'll select workspace and then select

tools now here you can see that I have

this YouTube transcript provider tool

that I've downloaded from the community

page and the goal of this tool is to go

go to the YouTube video grab the

transcript and then simply print it out

for me now to make sure that the tool is

running I need to click on this plus

icon and then enable it once I do that I

can ask a question something like grab

me the transcript from this video and

you can see here that when the Tool is

running it should be blinking here so

when I ask it this question it's going

to be able to go to this video and then

based on that it will start printing out

the transcript

now if you go over to openweb ui.com I'm

going to share a link to this in the

description you can go to the new tools

section so if I select SE all you can

see that I have a bunch of different

tools that are available here there are

some for email there's one for Reddit

there's a calculator tool u a transcribe

tool a wolf from alpha tool a 11 Labs

tool um let's try one let's say that for

example I wanted to try the enhanced web

scrape tool right this looks interesting

so to actually get this tool it's pretty

easy all you will do is simply select

get and then here is going to say import

to open web UI now you want to make sure

that open webui is running or it's not

going to work once I select this it's

going to automatically show up here on

open web

UI now something that you want to be

careful um about is you want to make

sure that the tools that you're

downloading are going to have at least a

couple of people who have used it in the

past because um these are going to be

executable files so some that you might

want to do is this one's fine cuz it's

got 7,000 something downloads but just

as an extra step of precaution I would

just copy and paste the tool put it into

chat DBT and just be like hey is this

safe or something or is this going to

send my data out somewhere just to be

sure you never know so here once you do

this you will be able to see your tool

available here and I'm going to Simply

select save and again you'll get this

warning right so tools have a function

calling systems that allow code

execution so I'm going to select confirm

and let's say that for example a one of

the tools that you downloaded has an API

key that is necessary well to do that

you'll simply select the valves section

and over here we can see that it is

asking for an API key but it is optional

so it allows for a higher rate limit

when you're scraping but you don't need

to actually have this so that's great

there's also another sort of thing for

citation so the default citation is

enabled

let's just say that we disabled citation

right we can do that over here U do we

want to disable caching I don't know

let's just leave it as the default value

and then I'm going to select save so for

example if you have other tools that do

require an API this is where you would

put that API in so let's go here to the

new chat and I need to make sure that

the tool for enhanced web search is

active and then we'll say something like

transcribe

this

page and when I send this message you'll

see here that it's going to scrape that

website and then based on that it's

going to tell us what this page is about

and that's pretty much it now all of

this is fine right like we know that we

can access tools from the community but

what if you had a very specific purpose

right and you wanted to create your own

tool how do you do that well you don't

need to be a developer all you'll do is

just go to the open web UI documentation

page cop copy this entire whatever

documentation is available on tools go

here and paste it next I'm going to copy

an example tool that works like the

enhanced web script right we tried that

we know that this works so I'm going to

go in here I'm going to say this is an

example of a tool that

works and I'm going to paste it and then

I'm also going to say this is another

example of a tool that works and then

I'm going to give it the YouTube

transcript provider so let's go in here

and then paste it now I can ask it to do

whatever I want right so let's just say

that I want it to create a tool for me

so I'm going to start typing

hey can you help create a new tool for

me that

fetches the top five posts from the Wall

Street bets

subreddit so when I execute this it's

not only does it have information on the

tools documentation also has some

example code from other people's tool

that does work so here it actually wrote

this entire script for me and I'd love

to actually try it out to see if this

works so I'm going to go here and then

I'm going to copy this entire script and

then let's go to settings or workspace

tools and let's create this new tool so

let's paste this entire code that we

were provided and then let's give this a

tool a name so w Street

bets and the tool description grabs top

five posts from

WSB so first I need to see if this

actually works I'm going to select

save and

confirm so it says code formatted

successfully let's see if this actually

works so do I have any vales that I need

to put in so client ID client secret and

then Reddit user agent let's leave these

as default for now because I'm not sure

um what those things are and let's try

to activate or run this tool of course I

put a typo in that U what are the top

five posts

today so what we need to do is see if

this works or not so it says Reddit API

credentials not configured so it means

that we need to provide it some

credentials so if I wanted to I could go

to api. reddit.com and then go in here

and then register to get the API but it

seems like this is a whole thing so

instead of doing this let me just get a

different or let me create a different

tool let's just say that I wanted to

create a different tool that doesn't use

an API call anywhere which now it makes

sense what those valves were which I

just completely had ignored at the time

so here it's saying here's a simple tool

that performs text analysis without

requiring any API calls so it analyzes

the text and then provides statistics

like word count character count most

common words and some more metrics so

yeah not the most glamorous tool I will

say but I mean it's a good use case

right so for example if you had

something that you wanted to try out you

can always go in here and then have it

kind of write that out for you looks

like it is actually removing the stop

words and then building some sort of a

response so I'm really excited to see if

this actually works so let's wait for it

to get

done and then I'm going to Simply select

copy now here let's go to workspace

tools and let's create this tool word

counter and then I'm going to paste it

and this

tool counts words let's hit save and

confirm only alpha numeric characters

allowed in the title let's hit save and

then confirm it says tool um created

successfully uh there are no valves so

that is awesome so let's go back here to

our new chat enable this tool which is

word counter and say or just type a

sentence like how many or

statistics on this

sentence this is a

sentence I don't know if that's going to

work or not but let's try it out this

analysis complete and then here are the

detailed statistics so it gave us the

basic statistics um reading analysis and

then word frequency so we know that this

actually works because this is the

format that the tool is actually working

in so if you go to workspace select

tools and then the word counter tool we

can see here that it's in that same sort

of format right text analysis results so

we know that this sort of pipeline Works

um if you have some use cases please

feel free to post those in the comment

section um I'd love to try some out you

know this is really the workflow you

don't need to be a developer not to

create these tools create these

functions so I encourage you to go out

maybe try creating some of these tools

but also be careful because remember

that these are executable python files

now that's pretty much it for this video

thank you all for tuning in hopefully it

was a little bit helpful and I'll see

you in the next one goodbye
