Set Up Local AI
Install Ollama
Download and install Ollama from ollama.ai. It's available for both macOS and Windows.
Pull a model
Open a terminal and run:
ollama pull gemma3:2bYou can use any Ollama model — smaller ones like gemma3:2b or llama3.2:3b work well.
Configure SiteQuest
Open Settings > AI and switch to Local AI. The default URL is http://localhost:11434 — this is Ollama's default address.
Select your model
Choose the model you pulled from the dropdown. If you don't see it, make sure Ollama is running.
Leave the URL as http://localhost:11434 unless you've configured Ollama to use a different port.
