Tired of paying $20/month for ChatGPT Plus? What if you could run the same thing on your own computer, for free, forever?

Tonight we're setting up a full ChatGPT-style chat interface that runs entirely on your hardware. No cloud. No subscriptions. No one reading your conversations. Just you and your own private AI.

⚠️ System Requirements

  • RAM: 16GB minimum (32GB+ recommended)
  • Storage: 15GB free disk space
  • OS: macOS 10.15+ or Linux (Ubuntu recommended)

🤖 What We'll Cover

  • Installing Ollama (the engine that runs AI models locally)
  • Downloading and managing AI models
  • Setting up OpenWebUI (a slick ChatGPT-style interface)
  • Basic configuration and settings
  • Testing your first conversation

By the end, you'll have a fully functional chat interface running in your browser, powered by AI on your own machine.

No coding experience required!
