In a world where most AI tools rely on constant cloud access, what if you could harness the power of AI for WordPress development completely offline? This session introduces Ollama, a local large language model (LLM) runner that lets you code smarter without sending your data to the cloud.
We’ll explore how Ollama can be used as a lightweight alternative to ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, tailored specifically for WordPress development workflows. Whether you’re building custom themes, plugins, or troubleshooting legacy code, learn how to leverage Ollama to generate, refactor, and explain code while keeping your environment secure, fast, and offline.
Perfect for developers who value privacy, autonomy, or just want to keep working when the Internet goes down.
