Private AI Chatbot on Your Computer - Step by Step Tutorial

Here is a simple 5 step process for installing and running a local AI chatbot on your computer, completely for free. I made this for non technical people, and you should be able to follow along step by step.
Step 1: Install Ollama ollama.com/
Step 2: Copy and Paste Llama 3 install command using Terminal
Step 3: Add other LLM models (optional) ollama.com/library
Step 4: Install Docker www.docker.com/
Step 5: Install OpenWebUI docs.openwebui.com/getting-st...
Login to OpenWebUI and start using your local AI chatbot.
We just released a brand new course on our E-Learning platform that dives much deeper into running a private ChatGPT alternative on your computer.

    It was really easy to install, can you show how you use this with gcolab, using ngrok as a tunnel, and dockdesktop running locally and ngrok endpoint being the openWEBUI? This would allow everyone to use it on mobile as well, and also include setup to talk directly with the different models that support it, and explain how uncensored modell can effectively help you in ways that chatGPT cant..

    I believe installing these apps turns your computer into a remote zombie that receives instructions to run a web based network. So in short your power is contributing to the network with out your knowledge. This is what bitcoin is doing… people think their computer was solving math problems but in reality they were part of a huge network that’s creating value with bitcoin…. I tried telling people but nobody understands how information works.. if you ever get bored look at what info is being shared from your computer without your knowledge…. Now imagine that times 1k! I have a computer that will turn on I the middle of the night if I sneeze… thats how sensitive it is.
