How to Install and Use Ollama on Windows (Free Local AI)

From the creator

Learn how to install and use Ollama on Windows to run AI models locally for free. In this beginner tutorial, we'll set up Ollama without an account, choose a local model, chat with AI, ask follow-up questions, and analyze a PDF on your computer. Then we'll connect Ollama to OpenCode and build a website with AI that creates files directly on your PC. Once you've downloaded a local model, you can use it offline. Cloud models are optional and work differently; this tutorial focuses on local AI.

AI Maker Residence 4

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. This fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
