By connecting to Ollama, a powerful tool for managing local LLMs, you can send prompts and receive AI-generated responses directly within n8n.\n\n### How it works\n1. When chat message received: Captures the user's input from the chat interface.\n2. Chat LLM Chain: Sends the input to the Ollama server and receives the AI-generated response.\n3. Delivers the LLM's response back to the chat interface.\n\n### Set up steps\n* Make sure Ollama is installed and running on your machine before executing this workflow.\n* Edit the Ollama address if different from the default.\n"
