Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/4550

Ollama has so much potential to be the best virtual assistant, but it doesn't have a built in gui for those who don't plan to host this through the network.

Please add an option during the setup wizard to enable the gui and add one.

I use that too[^1], but I am thinking of more of a built in option for like an unsecured network, and easier for new users (making it plug and play) to use and see the potential. We already have it as a .app so why not have an optional GUI? @matthewchung74

^1: I use something with the same name, I assume it is that repo, but don't have it memorized, always double check
