Problem Description
Currently, Lorebooks do not exist in OWUI
Desired Solution you'd like
Is it possible to add lorebooks into OWUI? They exist in SillyTavern. I know they may seem to be just for roleplay purposes, but they are actually very versatile and can be used for many other things.
If OWUI got lorebooks it would completely replace ST for me.
Most importantly, you can control how much context a lorebook takes up in chat. So, you can set it to say 60% of the available context and it will never use more then that for the lorebook itself.

I can't describe it better then this article: https://docs.sillytavern.app/usage/core-concepts/worldinfo/

Hello Frenzybiscuit, I think the best would be for you to create a discussion in the Discussions sections to get the input of other collaborators and maintainers, also other people that might be interested in this feature. have read the article and I find it personally really interesting and would be worth trying to integrate with OpenWebUI. Creating an issue right await is not the best way in my opinion because if I go and implement and finally, maintainers think that it wouldn't match the identity of OWUI since this feature is implemented in a competing tool to OWUI, then it would be wasted work. I hope you understand.

Hi!
I submitted this as a feature request on github because it's explained in the system you can submit feature requests that way on github.
I have opened a discussion for it though! https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/16534
No, you did great. I was just saying that if you wanted to get actual comprehensive feedback from people and have more exposure, you would more easily get it through discussions than an issue.
Greetings.
