Chatchat Lite is an open-source, lightweight chat UI framework designed to run in the browser and connect to multiple AI backends—including OpenAI, Azure, custom HTTP endpoints, and local language models. It provides real-time streaming responses, Markdown rendering, code block formatting, theme toggles, and persistent conversation history. Developers can extend it with custom plugins, environment-based configurations, and adaptability for self-hosted or third-party AI services, making it ideal for prototypes, demos, and production chat apps.

echoOLlama leverages the Ollama ecosystem to provide a minimal agent framework: it reads user input from the terminal, sends it to a configured local LLM, and streams back responses in real time. Users can script sequences of interactions, chain prompts, and experiment with prompt engineering without modifying underlying model code. This makes echoOLlama ideal for testing conversational patterns, building simple command-driven tools, and handling iterative agent tasks while preserving data privacy.
