Every text you paste into a cloud AI chat travels to somebody else's servers. Ollama runs open AI models on your own machine: same everyday uses, zero data leakage, zero monthly fee.
Who this is NOT for
A local model on an ordinary laptop does not reason like the big cloud ones: expect a competent assistant, not a genius. For drafting, summarizing, classifying and answering over your documents, it is plenty.
The gateway to this entire category: one installer, one command, and you have private AI running. Our whole local AI infrastructure runs on Ollama, and it is the first piece we install in any deployment. With 8 GB of RAM you already run useful models; with a GPU, it flies.
Your first step
Download the installer from ollama.com and run ollama run llama3.2. Ask it a business question with WiFi off: that is provable privacy.
The Ollama implementation guide
The project belongs to Ollama Inc. and it is free: the link beside asks for nothing. The guide to set it up without getting lost is ours: step by step, common mistakes and a checklist. Leave your email and we will send it.
