Private AI Chatbot On Your Computer

This course teaches you how to set up a private, local AI chatbot that mirrors the experience of ChatGPT—without sharing data or needing a constant internet connection. You'll learn the exact steps to install Ollama and Docker, run AI models like Llama 2, Llama 3, and Mistral, and access them via a modern chat interface with Open WebUI. The training is designed for non-technical users, guiding you to safely download, install, and use these open-source tools regardless of your operating system.

After finishing the course, you’ll know how to switch seamlessly between multiple AI models for chat, upload and query your own files in total privacy, create a prompt library to boost productivity, and tailor the system with reusable custom instructions (modifiers and system prompts). You’ll also unlock optional skills for connecting to cloud-based features like ChatGPT, GPT-4, and DALL·E for image generation and vision if you want to extend capabilities online.

You will finish with a locally installed chatbot that lets you summarize, draft, answer questions, and manage documents—entirely on your machine. The course covers practical setup—copying commands, managing models, creating and using system prompts, and using advanced file and document tools—all with hands-on video guidance and clear written steps.
