Intro to AI LLM Systems with Ollama and Python

Learn to build complete AI systems from scratch using Ollama and Python in this comprehensive in-person class. Start by setting up Ollama, a local LLM framework that enables direct interaction with large language models on your computer without requiring external subscriptions or fees. Progress through creating a basic command-line application that harnesses Ollama's capabilities, then implement prompt injection techniques to establish specific rules and guidelines for LLM responses. Discover how to dynamically incorporate user information to generate personalized, context-aware responses tailored to individual users. Transform your command-line application into a fully functional web application using the Bottle Web App Framework, making your AI system accessible through a browser interface. Complete the system by integrating SQLite relational database functionality to provide persistent memory capabilities, allowing your application to retain and recall information across sessions. Master the fundamental components of AI system architecture while building practical, deployable applications that can solve specific organizational problems and provide competitive advantages over generic AI platforms used by competitors.
