We'll use a simple chat example, perhaps similar to what you might have done
yourself when trying out your favourite LLM.
We'll ask for activities to do while on vacation.

+To make the examples as accessible as possible, we'll use Ollama,

which can be run locally. So, no need to get keys, or use up your token limits.
-The libraries we use here can also connect to remote models and services.
+But feel free to try out other models and services.
+Most of the libraries we use here can connect to remote models and services,
+sometimes just by changing a line or two of config in a properties file.
The examples mostly use the `mistral:7b` model, which you'll need to download
to run the examples
unchanged, but feel free to try other models and see what results you get.

+Some of the examples also use the `qwen3:8b` model. It seems to give better
results when using tools.
+See the example repo for how to run the needed services using docker,
+or within GitHub actions if you don't have Ollama already running locally.
We also used Groovy 5 and JDK 25, but the examples should work on other Groovy
and Java versions.
== Using Ollama4j
Since we are using Ollama, we'll start with a library aimed directly at that
tool.

it an excellent language for prototyping and composing AI workflows on the JVM.
