Get ready to dive into the world of Ollama integrations with me! In today's video, we're taking a look at LobeChat. With its busy webpage and unclear documentation, it can be tough to figure out how to get started with this tool. But don't worry, I'm here to walk you through the process step by step. From setting up your settings to exploring the features of LobeChat, we'll cover everything you need to know. And let me tell you, it's not all sunshine and rainbows - there are some frustrating parts to this tool that might leave you feeling like you're stuck in a never-ending loop! So if you're curious about how LobeChat stacks up against other Ollama integrations, or if you just want to see what makes this tool tick, then keep watching!
I showed this page on my site: bit.ly/ollamai... which points to this ugly address: www.technovang...
You can find the code for every video I make at github.com/tec.... Then find the folder name that starts with the date this video was published and a title that makes sense for what the video covers.

The Ollama discord is at / discord
(they have a pretty url because they are paying at least $100 per month for Discord. You help get more viewers to this channel and I can afford that too.)

I go back and forth about whether I should make stuff that has a mostly negative feel or not. If I can’t say anything nice, should I say anything at all? That’s what’s held me back from doing a video on LMStudio and others. But then folks seem to want them.

@@technovangelist I am all for this simply because it’s basically a “what not to do” guide, plus the AI space is full of people hyping things without any criticality.

I'm so happy that you made this video. I've been confused repeatedly by LobeChat. It seemed so popular based on stars, while also having frequent updates, and a sleek UI. But when trying it it was crowded and didn't bring anything new. I installed it on 3 separate occasions I think, because I just felt like maybe I missed something. I love that you put in the time to do thorough research. Finally, I'm at peace. Thank you!

Given your knowledge, there is nothing wrong with telling it how it is. It will help others save themselves headaches and potentially give the devs constructive actual user feedback (if they watch the video) for them to potentially improve upon. Both of which can produce positive outcomes from a negative approach. :)

I appreciate the good info, whether good or bad!

the license alone is what would set me away from lobechat .. its a disgusting way of releasing something as ASL2 when it is absolutely not. what an insult to people intelligence !

Thank you for this important review! I thought I was doing something wrong, but now I know it wasn’t my fault!

This is a great example of why modern web development and design can be problematic. Avoid overengineering or overdesigning your website just to make it look good. Keep it simple instead.

@technovangelist Ай бұрын

totally agree.... i don't know if this is an example of bad design, but rather an example of copywriting to the extreme.... a little too much time reading adweeks guide to copywriting trying to convince us it's great.

I will now double down on the effort to never reveal anything like that early and keep you waiting till after the drinking silence.

@@technovangelist and at ~10min of vid, it's not too long to watch... and if someone doesn't want to spend those ~10 mins to watch, then they can go through the trouble and have it summarized via a yt vid transcript gpt query (ideally via ollama) 😎

@sammcj2000 Ай бұрын

Pretty much mirrors my experience. It’s like a frontend dev with some really nice UI designs (and the idea for plugins) whipped it up then stepped back and asked - architecture? What’s architecture?

I use page assist in a browser and its pretty good for what it does. I get it does not have the craziest updates but its pretty good fast and I cant complain

its not lobechat fault that plugins dont work , most of them can work nicely with gpt however using free option limits you burry you does your chosen model support function call?

It’s totally lobechats fault. Pretty much all models support function calling with ollama.

It's okay to not publish a video if it doesn't show anything of value.

@technovangelist Ай бұрын

I want to look at all the tools available. Some are going to be great and some aren’t.

@technovangelist Ай бұрын

I first read that as it being ok not to publish if it’s not positive. But just now realized you may have meant simply if there was no value. I would disagree with that. I think there is a lot of value pointing out things that don’t work so tools can get better.

@tohur Ай бұрын

Anything that runs locally typically can't use your microphone due to https or the lack there of on localhosts.. in chrome based browsers you can allow chrome to treat a list of hosts/IPs as if they were running on https thus allowing you to use the voice to text

@technovangelist Ай бұрын

Perhaps you should tell that to the developers of other products that have it working. Or suggest to lobechat that they remove a feature they can’t get to work.
