Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

RAG is a great help but when you are trying to maintain a custom knowledge base you have to keep updating the document which means downloading the file, edit, uploading, it gets very tedious for frequently updated information e.g.

if you kept your meeting/conversations for reference and use in chat
document for project summary and goals, where are you up to
if you are learning a new topic and want to write notes and have the chat use your new learnings

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally I would like a built in knowledge base management such as a markdown file editor (think Obsidian) or perhaps nominate a kb git repo and pull that into indexing for RAG

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried

using the chat history as storage, editing the AI responses with notes and summaries so I can ask questions in context. But you can't delete a AI response (another feature request please for that) so it's just a big running chat.
using Obsidian with Smart-Connectiond, this is the best solution I've found BUT it doesn't work on mobile devices 😥
many other online AI systems that chat with your notes but Open WebUI is so good and so close, having a nominated folder of markdown files to index (with built in editor) would be amazing.

Additional context

I do agree
I have opened a discussion here that could enrich perhaps the feature

https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/3226

What do you think of such system of data connectors ?

One of them could be git access
