I installed Ollama but I don’t have any ideas of what to do with it.
Do you have any fun/original use cases for it? I’m a programmer so it doesn’t have to exist already.
Instruct it to be your dungeon master and do some roleplay.
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
Link it to openweb-ui makes things easier Then can knowledge it on say all the manuals in your house Or your home insurance policy or soemthing.
Link it to “speaches” and then you can make a voice chat.
Link it to continue.dev for coding
I think alot of the use case come from developing system prompts You can them make a “custom” model for specific tasks. I.e this model knows about my home insurance policy but writes back lile it’s pirate with a stutter
Nothing useful but gets your toes wet.
Have it pretend to be Gandalf working in a coffee shop
Ollama is very useful but also rather barebones. I recommend installing Open-Webui to manage models and conversations. It will also be useful if you want to tweak more advanced settings like system prompts, seed, temperature and others.
You can install open-webui using docker or just pip, which is enough if you only care about serving yourself.
Edit: open-webui also renders markdown, which makes formatting and reading much more appealing and useful.
Edit2: you can also plug ollama into continue.dev, an extension to vscode which brings the LLM capabilities to your IDE.
