Twoody or Ollama?
Ollama is an engine that runs models, from the terminal, an API or its app for Mac and Windows. Twoody is an assistant for your documents that remembers you — and it can answer with Ollama's models.

Choose Twoody if…
- you prefer an app to the terminal;
- your Mac runs macOS 13;
- you work on folders of documents, with their sources;
- you want an assistant that remembers you.
Choose Ollama if…
- you build tools or scripts on a local model;
- you need a released app for Windows today, or the graphics card on Linux (Twoody is in private beta there, and runs on the processor on Linux);
- you want to pull any model from a large library.
Or both
If Ollama already runs on your computer, choose it in Twoody (Models › “Advanced” › “Engine” › “Ollama”): Ollama as the engine, Twoody as the assistant.
