Title: Feature Request: Image-Based Document Retrieval Support
Description:
Hello OpenWebUI Team,
I would like to request a new feature for OpenWebUI: Image-Based Document Retrieval.
Currently, OpenWebUI lacks the ability to retrieve documents containing or similar to a provided image. This feature could be useful for tasks like:
Identifying documents with the exact image.
Searching for documents with visually similar images.
Enhancing multimodal document analysis.
Proposed Implementation:
Accept image inputs in the chat.
Perform image similarity search against the document database.
Return documents containing or closely matching the provided image.
Use Case Example:
A user uploads an image of a system architecture. OpenWebUI retrieves documents containing the same or structurally similar images and provides contextual insights.
Impact:
Expands OpenWebUI’s capabilities in multimodal retrieval.
Useful for researchers and data analysis workflows.
Thank you for considering this feature request! Let me know if I can assist with testing or further clarifications.
Best regards,
Muni Sekhar
