Get one model answering in Ollama first. Add Open WebUI second—don’t debug two installs at once.

What it is

Open WebUI gives you a browser chat experience on top of local inference. Pair it with Ollama when the terminal chat is too thin and you want conversation history, multi-user experiments, or document Q&A against local models. Everything still depends on your hardware and school data rules.
