Ollama, MacOS Automator Services, Keyboard Shortcuts - AI to the MAX

Many people have found value in leveraging advanced AI tools on their Macs for customization and automation, a process that can be complex but offers numerous benefits.

Here is how I do it. What you will need:

0. Mac (M1+ preferred for better GPU)

1. Working Ollama server on your Mac with llama3.2:1b or 3b. 3b has shown better results at a minor cost of latency.

2. Knowledge of Automator Services

3. Some shell script.

Even without prior knowledge, completing this can still be achieved by following instructions meticulously.

Let's get started!
