Hi @Blessing
Ollama is setup properly
Ollama is running Locally with no issues
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> ollama run llama3
>>> hello
Hello! It's nice to meet you. Is there something I can help you with, or would you like to chat?
>>> Send a message (/? for help)
I have verified that the n8n container can communicate with Ollama and receive a successful response by executing a command directly from within the container. Since Ollama responded correctly, we can rule out any network connectivity issues between the Docker container and the Ollama LLM.
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> docker exec -it local-files-n8n-1 wget -O- --post-data='{\"model\": \"llama3\", \"prompt\": \"Hi can you hear me\", \"stream\": false}' http://192.168.1.65:11434/api/generate

I have created a basic workflow (chat trigger, AI Agent and Ollama model), but still getting the same error ”Error: Failed to receive response” when entering a message in the chat.
Another test I ran was to establish a test message in the chat trigger and the workflow completed successfully even with the red asterik, is there any reason about why entering a message in the Test chat is not working?
