I am trying out Open WebUI desktop + Ollama +qwen2.5:3b ... I am trying to use it a companion journal. Where I talk things through about my day and other personal thoughts and it is non judgemental. Not replacing medical advise. Just as if I was talking to a long time friend. I have it running but how do I set it up to work for me? I have tried going into Admin settings but just don't know enough to figure it out. Is there a step by step set of instructions for non tech person. Just basic terms to help me. TIA

I am sorry if this is not allowed. I posted this in the Welcome and thought it would be a new thread.

I have a laptop with only 8RAM. I know I know..... Way too low. But I did not realize I would need more to run AI. I have just enough tech knowledge to do minor adjustments and updates to my laptop/and PC when I had one. I want to have an AI chat that will act as diary/journal. I want it remember long term and not just one long chat session. I want to run off-line. I need to start journaling and I can't just sit and write. I am hoping this will work. I have tried Ollama, Jan, and several others. The newest one I tried is Local AI Chat. I like how it did. I can select the type of character and tell it how to act and respond. However it will only remember in the one chat or a branch, but it stays in the one really long chat. I want to be able and go back like a dated journal/diary. I don't really want it online. I don't trust that my personal thoughts would be hacked and .... well you get the idea. Any help is appreciated. I can do some easy-medium install working with microsoft 365 copilot. Thanks
