Built a local-first workflow automation platform around Ollama - now at v0.11.0

I've been working on an open-source workflow automation platform over the past few months, with Ollama as one of the first-class providers rather than treating it as an afterthought.

The goal wasn't to build another chat UI, but a deterministic workflow engine where local models can power automation pipelines.

Some of the things it supports now:

  • Local LLM execution with Ollama
  • Agent semantic memory (using local embeddings like nomic-embed-text)
  • Document RAG
  • Visual workflow builder
  • Conditional branching and graph-based execution
  • Human-in-the-loop approval nodes
  • Multi-agent (A2A) workflows
  • Browser, HTTP, Email, File and MCP tools
  • Step replay, retries and execution history

One thing I wanted from the beginning was to avoid vendor lock-in, so the execution engine treats providers as adapters. A workflow can run entirely on Ollama, or mix local models with cloud providers if needed.

The latest v0.11.0 release also adds a lot of improvements around workflow execution, observability, dashboarding, retrieval, and multi-agent orchestration.

I'd love feedback from people here who run Ollama locally:

  • Is there anything missing that you'd expect from a local-first automation platform?
  • Any features that would make Ollama fit even better into workflow-based systems?

Happy to answer any implementation questions.
