AI Chat Manager Plugin

AI Chat Manager is a Binder plugin that brings locally hosted Ollama chats into the app with a dedicated two-panel workspace:

• Left panel: chat list, Ollama connection, endpoint, and model discovery
• Right panel: the active conversation, per-chat model, system prompt, and composer

Plugin identity

The plugin now publishes itself directly as:

• pluginId: "ai"
• tabType: "ai"

The host app resolves /ai from plugin metadata instead of a hardcoded Claude alias.

Features

• Persistent multi-chat manager stored in local browser storage
• Ollama model discovery via GET /api/tags
• Running-model status via GET /api/ps
• Chat completions via POST /api/chat
• Per-chat model selection and system prompt
• Code block rendering with optional "Run in terminal" actions
• Offline/connection guidance for local Ollama setups

Default endpoint

The plugin defaults to:

http://localhost:11434

You can change the Ollama endpoint from inside the plugin UI.

Local build

npm install
npm run build

That produces dist/index.js, which Binder's plugin loader expects.
