Just finished setting up Odysseus AI with Ollama and wanted to share a few thoughts.
If you have been looking for a free, open-source AI workspace that runs locally, Odysseus is worth checking out. Pairing it with Ollama gives you a private AI environment where you can experiment with local models and workflows without relying on cloud APIs.
A few things I liked:
✅ Simple local setup
✅ Works with Ollama models
✅ Open-source and customizable
✅ Supports private AI workflows
✅ Easy to upgrade to larger models as needed
The biggest tip: pre-download the embedding model before your first launch. It saves a lot of setup headaches.
I have put together a step-by-step installation guide, setup process and troubleshooting notes for anyone who wants to try it.
Would love to hear from others who have tested Odysseus or similar local AI stacks.
