HoloChart for Ollama — chart local model answers
Cloud chart tools can't see your local models. HoloChart charts Ollama answers instantly, fully offline.
Ollama runs open LLMs (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma and more) entirely on your own machine — the whole point is that nothing leaves your computer. That's exactly why cloud "artifact"/"canvas"/dashboard features from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity can't help: they can't reach a model running on localhost.
HoloChart can. It's a browser-side visualizer that reads a local Ollama answer (in a web UI such as Open WebUI) and renders a chart on-device with rule-based parsing — no second model, no cloud, no telemetry. Your local setup stays local end to end.

Why local-model users need a local chart layer
If you chose Ollama for privacy or offline work, piping its output into a cloud chart tool defeats the purpose. HoloChart keeps the whole loop on your machine: local model in, local chart out, nothing transmitted.
How it works with Ollama
Use your local model through a browser UI, ask for numbers/tables/comparisons, and HoloChart detects the structured data in the answer and renders a chart in a floating panel — the same experience it gives for ChatGPT or Claude, but 100% offline.
Frequently asked
- Does HoloChart work with Ollama?
- Yes — this is a core strength. It charts a local Ollama answer shown in your browser, entirely on-device, with no cloud round-trip.
- Do cloud chart tools work with local models?
- No. Cloud artifact/canvas/dashboard features run on the vendor's servers and cannot reach a model on your localhost. HoloChart can, because it works in your browser.
- Is anything sent to a server?
- No. With Ollama and HoloChart, the entire loop — model and chart — stays on your machine; nothing is transmitted.
- Does it also work with cloud LLMs?
- Yes. The same extension charts ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Mistral answers too — one consistent, local chart layer.
