Using Ollama
Optional. Turn on search by meaning, still fully local.
Ollama is optional
Woolly works without it. Ollama only makes search smarter.
Without Ollama, Woolly finds memories by matching words. With Ollama, it also understands meaning, so "what pets do I have" finds "Biscuit is a golden retriever" even though no words match.
Everything still runs on your machine.
