Hi!

Welcome to my OllamaChat demo on building a little Ollama-powered chatbox on your computer!

A lightweight Python GUI chat app using tkinter that connects to a local Ollama instance.

Sending prompts to a local Ollama model (e.g., Lamma3), and saving .json files (Path: home/ollama_vault) and display responses.

It works accross-platforms: macOS and Windows!

Simply:

1. Download or Clone this repo and Ollama
2. Compile app (Windows or MacOS)
3. Execute: ollama_gui

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.8+
• Ollama installed and running (Download: https://ollama.com/)
• Model needs to be pulled locally (e.g., $ ollama run llama3)
• pyinstaller
• tkinter
• requests
• datetime
• json
• os

Terminal Commands:

MacOS/Linux:

$ pyinstaller --windowed --onefile ollama_gui.py

WindowsOS:

$ pyinstaller --windowed --onefile ollama_gui.py

Click on the ollama_gui executable to run! (Path: dist/ollama_gui)

Happy prompting!
