Agentic AI
Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence capable of planning and autonomously executing multi-step tasks to achieve specific goals, often using Generative AI models to make decisions and take actions with minimal or no human intervention.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems, allowing them to learn, reason, problem-solve, perceive, and act autonomously.
Docker
Docker is a platform that packages applications and their dependencies into isolated containers, ensuring consistent performance across environments and simplifying deployment and management.
Generative AI
Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content — such as text, images, audio, video, or code — by learning patterns from massive datasets and generating original outputs that resemble what humans make.
Machine Learning
Machine Learning (ML) is a subfield of AI that enables systems to learn patterns from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed.
Ollama
Ollama is a lightweight tool that enables running large language models (LLMs) on a local computer, supporting private and offline AI interactions without relying on cloud-based services.
Open WebUI
Open WebUI is a self-hosted web interface that provides a user-friendly way to interact with local AI models (such as those running on Ollama), offering a chat-based experience similar to modern AI assistants.
