Ollama Sidekick
Your private AI browser companion — chat with local Ollama models in a side panel, with the page as context.
01 /Overview
Ollama Sidekick puts a chat interface for your locally-hosted Ollama models in the browser’s side panel. It extracts the page you’re reading and includes it as context — “summarize this article”, “explain this code” — or scopes the question to text you highlight.
The only network connection it ever makes is to your own Ollama server at localhost:11434. It works with any installed model — Llama, Mistral, Gemma, CodeLlama — with multiple conversations, model switching, a page-context toggle, and the 2.0 Agent Mode.
