So far I have tried to get it to read me my shoping list, turn on my desklight, and tell me how many hours until sundown. It wasn't able to do any of those things. I'm using llama3.1:8b. I have a 3080 12gb. I also tried mixtral:8x7b but it just says "unexpected intent error".
Hi! So heres the rundown.
You are going to need to be willing to learn how computer program services send text messages to eachother over open ports, how to call on a API in a programming script, and slowly piece together how to work with ollamas external API calling tool functions. Heres the documentation
Essentially you need to
learn how ollama external API works. How to send it text data using a basic program in python on an open port and recieve data back to put into a text file.
learn how to make that python program pull weather and time data from openweather
learn how to feed that weather and time data into ollama on an open port as part of a tool calling function. A tool call is a fancy system prompt that tells the model how to interface with the data in a well defined paratamized way. you say a keyword like get weather, it sends a request to your python program to get data from openweather and sends it back in way the llm is instructed to process.

Unless you are already a programmer who works with sending and recieving data over the internet to be processed, this is a non-trivial task that requires a lot of experimentation and getting your hands dirty with ports and coding languages. Im currently getting ready to delve into this myself so I know its all can feel overwhelming. Hope this helps.
