Ollama RAG Chatbot is a local-first retrieval chatbot project built to let users chat with the contents of multiple PDF documents through a simple interface. The project is framed as an experiment, but its setup and packaging make it approachable for practical local use as well. It supports running on a local machine or in Kaggle, which lowers the barrier for users who want to test RAG workflows without building everything from scratch. Model support is flexible, with compatibility for both Hugging Face models and Ollama-based models, and the interface is delivered through Gradio for a lightweight user experience. The main value of the project is its ability to process multiple PDF inputs and turn them into a question-answering workflow centered on document retrieval. With Docker support, script-based setup, optional ngrok exposure, and a clear local run path, it serves as a compact starter project for people who want a hands-on, self-hosted PDF chat system.
