Problem Description
I use this as my interface for my AI assistant. And while I'm very happy with OpenWebUI, there is no way to differentiate to the AI whether I am on desktop, or mobile.
Desired Solution you'd like
I'd love for there to be a way for my AI to differentiate between the two.
Alternatives Considered
There could be a toggle that can be flipped for desktop or mobile that would switch between prompts that does not change between pwa or desktop browser, or there could be a drop down that could be set as default for PWA (mobile) and Web Browser (desktop)
Additional Context
I'd like to say thank you for OpenWebUI, After developing and deploying my own memory system called persistent-ai-memory here on GitHub, I had been toying with building a UI of my own. But this seems to fit the bill better than anything I could have built. Thank you for OpenWebUI, and thank you for your dedication.

Does this work along with the normal OpenWebUI? So if I use that as my Mobile, and this as my Desktop, they'll sync? Or am I going to have to just use my memory system to differentiate between the two?
