Ollama

Run ShopAssist on Ollama's cloud or your own Ollama server, with the context window set high enough.

Ollama cloud

Create an API key at ollama.com → Settings → Keys and choose the preset Ollama (cloud) (base URL https://ollama.com/v1).

Run Ollama behind a reverse proxy with TLS and authentication on a public HTTPS URL. ShopAssist never calls localhost or private addresses.
Choose the preset Ollama (self-hosted) and enter the URL (for example https://llm.example.com/v1) and the API key your proxy expects.
Pull a model with tool support.

Ollama truncates prompts to a small context by default, and ShopAssist's prompts are longer. Set num_ctx to 16384 or higher in a Modelfile:

FROM qwen3:14b
PARAMETER num_ctx 16384

ollama create shopassist-qwen -f Modelfile

Use shopassist-qwen as the model. Without it, the connection test fails with context_too_small.

Data goes wherever this endpoint runs. Self-hosted endpoints must be reachable over HTTPS with authentication.

endpoint_blocked: the URL is not public HTTPS on port 443.
ttft_slow: the first token takes more than 8 seconds; use a smaller model or a GPU.
tools_unsupported: the model has no tool template.
