Just shipped Ollama integration for SoulSearch, an open-source Chrome extension that gives you an AI assistant on every webpage.

The key difference from Comet/etc: Your memory lives in a Git repo you own — not on someone else's servers. Every save is versioned. You can restore any previous state. You control your data. (Context my earlier post on SoulSearch: https://www.reddit.com/r/Perplexity/comments/1rvlej3/comment/obdaakb/?context=3)

What's new in v0.3:
• Ollama support — Run llama3.2, qwen2.5, or any local model. Fully offline capable.
• Session-specific memory — Quick notes that stay with one session, separate from your Git-backed global memory
• Agent mode — Browser automation with tool calling
• Web search — Brave API integration (optional, BYOK)

Ollama setup:
Start with CORS enabled for Chrome extensions:

OLLAMA_ORIGINS="chrome-extension://*" ollama serve

Tool calling note: Vision models (llama3.2-vision) don't support tools! There's a separate "Agent Model" setting — use vision for chat, text model for browser automation features of SoulSearch (or change to another LLM provider with models that do support tool calling; anthropic, openai and gemini are supported!)

Memory architecture:
• SOUL.md — Your agent's identity/personality
• MEMORY.md — Accumulated knowledge, Git-versioned
• Session memory — Per-conversation, not synced

Everything stays local with Ollama. Git sync is optional and goes to YOUR repo (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, self-hosted — whatever).

MIT licensed. This Ollama compatible version is not in Chrome Web Store yet — load unpacked from GitHub.

• Pre-Ollama SoulSearch version is also live on the Chrome Web Store! Approved and published March 19, 2026. Install it here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/soulsearch/jfcbpgdapidbpobibghabfpdoipknoig

On fixing the browser automation bits for Ollama, what Ollama models are you all using for tool calling?

SoulSearch - Chrome Web Store AI research assistant with persistent memory, powered by soul.py

🧠 Excited to share something I've been building — soul.py!

Most AI conversations end and the agent forgets everything. Next session? Back to zero. No continuity, no growth, no memory of who you are or what you've talked about.

We built soul.py to fix that — persistent identity and memory for any LLM agent, in about 10 lines of code.

It uses two plain markdown files:
📄 SOUL.md — the agent's identity, values, personality
📄 MEMORY.md — a timestamped log of everything it learns

Works with Claude, GPT, Ollama — whatever you're using. Zero required infrastructure.

pip install soul-agent

I’ve been pushing it further and further — v2.0 (released today) adds a query router that automatically decides whether to use fast semantic search (RAG) or deep recursive synthesis (RLM) depending on what you ask. The router gets it right ~90% of the time without you touching anything.

Here’s a littele piece on the philosophy behind it — framing agent memory through the lens of Darwinian evolution. Worth a read 👇

Would love to hear what you think — especially from anyone building agents or working with persistent AI systems.
