Starting new conversations with preset chat history

#1
by wsligter - opened

I'm using Geitje on ollama to start conversations with some context:

  • a system message (You are Hannie [...])
  • a assistant introduction message (Hi, I'm Hannie [...])

I'm using the ModelFile template as given in the repo combined with
MESSAGE assistant Hi, I'm Hannie [...]

It appears that ollama is ignoring the initial assistant message since it often replies to my first user message with things like "that's understandable Hannie,..."
I'm having trouble understanding if, and how, I can change the template to include the assistant message?
