Using ChatBox as a GUI Interface for Ollama

We are going to use a GUI interface for Ollama called ChatBox. ChatBox provides a simple and easy-to-run interface without requiring Docker or any complex configurations. It works across almost all platforms, including mobile devices, Android, iOS, and desktop operating systems.

About ChatBox

• Editions Available:

  • Community Edition (Open Source): Fully open-source version.
  • Regular Edition (Closed Source): Proprietary version with additional features not necessary for running local LLMs.

• Both editions are mostly the same in terms of functionality for our purposes. If you prefer a fully open-source option, it’s recommended to go with the Community Edition.

Next Steps

We will now download and install ChatBox on your operating system. After installation, we will connect ChatBox to our LLM running through Ollama.
