What it does

## Chat with local LLMs using n8n and Ollama This n8n workflow allows you to seamlessly interact with your self-hosted Large Language Models (LLMs) through a user-friendly chat interface. By connecting to Ollama, a powerful tool for managing local LLMs, you can send prompts and receive AI-generated responses directly within n8n. ### How it works 1. When chat message received: Captures the user's input from the chat interface. 2. Chat LLM Chain: Sends the input to the Ollama server and receives the AI-generated response. 3. Delivers the LLM's response back to the chat interface. ### Set up steps * Make sure Ollama is installed and running on your machine before executing this workflow. * Edit the Ollama address if different from the default.
