What do you guys use for chat interface?
I use Pi/OpenCode for coding tasks which still seems to be the most popular, but I'm wondering what you guys use for normal chat interface.

Key points
- It's been a few months since I've seen discussions about harness and at the time the popular non-coding choices seem to be: - OpenWebUI for general use - SillyTavern for roleplay - Hermes Agent for autonomous assistant
- I'm personally looking for something like the Claude interface.
- It's hard to describe but it doesn't feel too code-ish, too search engine-ish, or too personal assistant-ish.
- It's just the right blend of all, but I'm not sure whether it's because of the harness itself or the model.
