Overview

Ollama CLI Chat is a lightweight command-line tool for chatting with local models served through Ollama. It is built for fast local workflows where privacy, low latency, and developer ergonomics matter.


What it does

  • Runs interactive chat sessions directly from the terminal
  • Connects to Ollama-hosted local models
  • Supports practical local AI usage without relying on external APIs

Why I built it

I wanted a minimal, developer-friendly interface to work with local LLMs from the terminal for day-to-day experimentation and prototyping.
