ollamaAI Step

Description:

This step fetches responses from an Ollama (language) local model. 

 

Inputs

  • actAs – act as user persona
  • model – model to use
  • prompt  – text prompt
  • varGlobalStoreResult – variable/global to store the response
 

 

Returns

  • True – step executed successfully
  • False – step failed to execute 
 

 

Usage:

 

 

Example:

Let’s build and execute the “OllamaAIDef” example.          

  • Create a new process definition called “OllamaAIDef” and open it in Designer mode.
  • Drag an “OllamaAI” step to the canvas. 
  • Connect the dots between the “Start” and “OllamaAI” steps, as shown above. 
  • Define a variable or a global to store the result.
  • Click the "OllamaAI" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Select the language model from the drop-down list. Provide the text context prompt. Provide the variable or global reference to store the result. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • Click the "OllamaAI" step to configure its "Optional" properties. Provide the user persona description. Click the Save button. 

 

  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new instance, and then execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step to view its properties. The “OllamaAI” step should generate and store the prompt response in the variable or global, as configured.  

 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import them (drag-and-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page. 

Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
