So, I've been working on an app called Llama Run, which does require Ollama to run its AI models at the moment. I'd like to say what makes it different from tools like LM Studio, or even Ollama itself.

What’s Different?

1. Custom Python Plugin Support (Coming Soon!): I’m working on adding Python plugin support, which lets users create their own scripts to automate tasks. This feature isn’t in LM Studio or Ollama. It’s a big deal if you want to expand functionality beyond just text generation—think automating system tasks, interacting with APIs, or building custom workflows using Python.

2. Assistant-Like Functionality: Llama Run isn’t just about running a model and generating text. The app is designed to act more like a PC assistant. The goal is to let it handle small tasks for you, like adjusting settings or running commands based on AI suggestions, making it more of an interactive utility.

3. Event-Driven System: Plugins will be able to respond to specific events in real time, like button clicks or system changes. This gives users more control over how the AI and plugins interact with their PC. It’s not just about text generation—it’s about creating a smarter PC workflow

4. Designed for Automation: Unlike LM Studio, which focuses more on the models themselves, Llama Run is meant for day-to-day automation. It’s a lightweight app that’ll be able to handle everything from quick tasks to more complex workflows, all powered by AI and Python.

Why I Still Use Ollama Yes, Llama Run needs Ollama at this moment. I'm using their models since it's easier to download and start running locally. But the plan is to make Llama Run more flexible to allow people to use other models or even add their own custom tools via plugins.

I'm curious what you think about these differences:

Does plugin support interest you for AI apps? Have you used LM Studio or Ollama, and what features do you feel are missing in AI tools? You can already find Llama Run in the Microsoft Store if you want to check it out [https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/9NW950ZX02CQ?cid=Dev...] (plugin support is in development). I'd love to hear your thoughts!
