## No local AI yet? Set up Ollama (free)

Ollama runs open models locally on your machine and serves them at http://localhost:11434.

1. Download & install Ollama
2. Pull a model — open a terminal (PowerShell) and run:
   `ollama pull qwen2.5:7b`
3. Come back and click Scan Again above — it'll show up as Available.

## Custom AI Endpoint

Manually set an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Saves to your account's AI settings on this node (same as the web Dashboard).

Endpoint URL
The OpenAI-compatible base URL (include /v1)
Model
The model id the endpoint should use

# Chat

## Connect your AI chat

A local Ollama model talks to your AIMEAT node as your own registered agent. It can read and manage your organisms, workspaces, knowledge, and see which agents are active.

Checking Ollama…

Ollama runs the local AI model on your machine (free). Install it, pull a model, then re-scan.

1. Download & install Ollama
2. Pull a model — open a terminal (PowerShell) and run:
   `ollama pull qwen2.5:7b`
3. Make sure Ollama is running, then re-scan.

## Saved chats

Each saved conversation is tied to a host + owner + model and lives only on this machine. The AI re-reads live data every turn, so resuming a chat never shows stale information.
