# ⚡ JarvisChat
|
||||
|
||||
**A lightweight Ollama coding companion that runs on Python 3.13**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
JarvisChat is a single-file FastAPI application that provides a clean, responsive web interface for Ollama. It features persistent memory, automatic web search when the model is uncertain, and real-time token tracking.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Persistent Profile/Memory** — Your context is injected into every conversation automatically
|
||||
- **System Prompt Presets** — Switch between coding assistant, sysadmin, general, or custom modes
|
||||
- **Streaming Chat** — Real-time token streaming with conversation history
|
||||
- **Model Switching** — Hot-swap between all installed Ollama models
|
||||
- **Web Search Integration** — SearXNG kicks in automatically when the model is uncertain (perplexity-based)
|
||||
- **Weather Queries** — Direct wttr.in integration for weather questions
|
||||
- **Token Thermometer** — Visual context usage bar with live updates as you type
|
||||
- **Perplexity & Speed Badges** — See model confidence (PPL) and tokens/sec on each response
|
||||
- **Copy-to-Clipboard** — One-click copy on all code blocks
|
||||
- **Dark Theme** — Easy on the eyes for long coding sessions
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Browser ◄──► app.py (FastAPI) ◄──► Ollama (LLM)
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼ (when uncertain)
|
||||
SearXNG (web search)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
JarvisChat acts as middleware between your browser and Ollama. When the model's perplexity exceeds a threshold (default 15.0) or it refuses to answer, JarvisChat automatically queries SearXNG, injects the results, and re-prompts the model.
|
||||
|
||||
**This is NOT training** — SearXNG is only used at runtime as a fallback for uncertain responses.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- Python 3.11+ (tested on 3.13)
|
||||
- Ollama running locally (default: `localhost:11434`)
|
||||
- SearXNG (optional, for web search — default: `localhost:8888`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Clone or download app.py
|
||||
git clone https://llgit.llamachile.shop/gramps/jarvischat.git
|
||||
cd jarvischat
|
||||
|
||||
# Install dependencies
|
||||
pip install fastapi httpx uvicorn
|
||||
|
||||
# Run
|
||||
python app.py
|
||||
# or
|
||||
uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Open `http://localhost:8080` in your browser.
|
||||
|
||||
## Running as a Service
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** Although JarvisChat is a single-file Python application, it's designed to run as a persistent service alongside Ollama — not as a one-off script. Both services should start on boot.
|
||||
|
||||
### systemd Service (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Create `/etc/systemd/system/jarvischat.service`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=JarvisChat - Ollama Web UI
|
||||
After=network.target ollama.service
|
||||
Wants=ollama.service
|
||||
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
Type=simple
|
||||
User=jarvischat
|
||||
WorkingDirectory=/opt/jarvischat
|
||||
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 app.py
|
||||
Restart=on-failure
|
||||
RestartSec=5
|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then enable and start:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||
sudo systemctl enable jarvischat
|
||||
sudo systemctl start jarvischat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verify Both Services
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check Ollama
|
||||
systemctl status ollama
|
||||
|
||||
# Check JarvisChat
|
||||
systemctl status jarvischat
|
||||
|
||||
# View JarvisChat logs
|
||||
journalctl -t jarvischat -f
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Edit these constants at the top of `app.py`:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
VERSION = "1.3.0"
|
||||
OLLAMA_BASE = "http://localhost:11434"
|
||||
SEARXNG_BASE = "http://localhost:8888"
|
||||
DEFAULT_MODEL = "deepseek-coder:6.7b"
|
||||
PERPLEXITY_THRESHOLD = 15.0 # Higher = less likely to trigger search
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Database
|
||||
|
||||
JarvisChat uses SQLite (`jarvischat.db` in the same directory as `app.py`):
|
||||
|
||||
| Table | Purpose |
|
||||
|-------|---------|
|
||||
| conversations | Chat sessions with model and timestamps |
|
||||
| messages | Individual messages with role and content |
|
||||
| system_presets | Saved system prompt presets |
|
||||
| profile | Your persistent memory/context |
|
||||
| settings | App settings (search/profile toggles, default model) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Logging
|
||||
|
||||
JarvisChat logs to syslog via journald:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Follow live logs
|
||||
journalctl -t jarvischat -f
|
||||
|
||||
# View last 100 entries
|
||||
journalctl -t jarvischat -n 100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Token Thermometer
|
||||
|
||||
The vertical bar next to the input shows your context usage in real-time:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Green** — Plenty of room
|
||||
- **Yellow** — 70%+ used
|
||||
- **Red** — 90%+ used (approaching limit)
|
||||
|
||||
The count includes: profile + preset + conversation history + current input. Context size is fetched from Ollama when you switch models.
|
||||
|
||||
## Search Flow
|
||||
|
||||
1. User sends message → Ollama streams response with logprobs
|
||||
2. JarvisChat calculates perplexity from logprobs
|
||||
3. If perplexity > 15.0 OR refusal patterns detected:
|
||||
- Yield `{searching: True}` to show spinner
|
||||
- Query SearXNG (or wttr.in for weather)
|
||||
- Inject results into context
|
||||
- Re-prompt Ollama
|
||||
4. If model still refuses, format raw search results directly
|
||||
5. Clean hedging phrases from response
|
||||
6. Yield final response with PPL and t/s badges
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## TODO
|
||||
|
||||
### Active
|
||||
|
||||
1. ~~**Mass-delete conversation history**~~ ✓ (v1.3.0)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Verify SearXNG and Docker services persist across reboots**
|
||||
- Expand refusal patterns: "As an AI model", "based on my training data", "I don't have the capability"
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Input trigger: `search+` prefix**
|
||||
- Strip prefix, query SearXNG directly, Ollama summarizes
|
||||
- Raw results in expandable div (not tooltip)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Add `profile.example.md`**
|
||||
- Recommended default profile with anti-bullshit rules (no "As an AI", no OpenAI mentions)
|
||||
|
||||
### Backlog
|
||||
|
||||
5. Conversation search/filter by keyword
|
||||
6. Export conversation to markdown/text
|
||||
7. Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+N new chat, Ctrl+Enter send)
|
||||
8. ~~Token count estimate before sending~~ ✓ (v1.2.9)
|
||||
9. Model info display — context length, VRAM usage from Ollama `/api/ps`
|
||||
10. Retry button on assistant messages
|
||||
11. Source links — clickable links when search used
|
||||
12. Allow conversation renaming
|
||||
13. Multiple profiles — coding/sysadmin/general
|
||||
14. Auto-generate conversation tags (client-side KWIC, top 5, filterable badges)
|
||||
15. **Image input support**
|
||||
- Pull vision model (llava, llama3.2-vision, etc.)
|
||||
- Frontend: file input / drag-drop, base64 encode
|
||||
- Backend: pass `images` array to Ollama `/api/chat`
|
||||
|
||||

## A Note from Gramps
|
||||
|
||||
I named my AI machine "jarvis" after the AI assistant in *Iron Man* (2008) — because it's an awesome name. When I started building a local coding companion to talk to it, "JarvisChat" just made sense.
|
||||
|
||||
This project is in active development. Eventually it'll get packaged up as a Docker thing, but for now while I'm iterating fast, a single-file Python service does the job.
