Stop Typing Ollama Commands the Old Way

Stop treating your terminal like a memory test. For years, using Ollama meant memorizing exact model tags and navigating shell histories just to ask a single question. That changes now. In this video, we dive into the new Ollama interactive menu—a game-changing TUI (Terminal User Interface) that transforms how you discover and launch models, agents, and coding tools. Whether you're switching between chat and specialized agents like Hermes or OpenClaw, or managing long debugging sessions with advanced session controls, we'll show you how to optimize your local AI workflow. What you'll learn: How to use the new interactive launcher to find the right tool for the job. The "hidden" right-arrow trick for model selection. Essential session commands (`/model`, `/new`, `/compact`) to keep your AI focused. How to use Skills and System prompts to stop re-typing the same rules. When to stick with the classic `ollama run` versus the new TUI. 0:00 The "Memory Test" problem 1:06 The struggle with model tags and agents 3:03 Exploring the new Interactive Menu 4:13 The secret to switching models quickly 6:18 One thing that still needs fixing 6:53 Mastering the interactive session 7:12 Essential slash commands for power users 9:04 Automating your workflow with Skills 10:12 Putting it all together: The ideal flow My Links 🔗 👉🏻 Subscribe (free):    / technovangelist   👉🏻 Join and Support:    / @technovangelist   👉🏻 Newsletter: https://technovangelist.substack.com/... 👉🏻 Twitter:   / technovangelist   👉🏻 Discord:   / discord   👉🏻 Patreon:   / technovangelist   👉🏻 Instagram:   / technovangelist   👉🏻 Threads: https://www.threads.net/@technovangel... 👉🏻 LinkedIn:   / technovangelist   👉🏻 All Source Code: https://github.com/technovangelist/vi...
