Complementary
We love Ollama. We built on it.
Gotchi doesn't compete with Ollama - it extends it. Ollama handles model management and inference beautifully. Gotchi wraps that power in a native desktop experience with chat, agents, connectors, knowledge bases, and automation. If you already use Ollama, Gotchi gives you everything you wished it had.
