TouchGrass AI is a novel application designed to encourage users to spend less time on screens by leveraging local AI models. Developed for the Hacktoberfest 2026 challenge, the app uses Gemma 3, an open-weight model run via Ollama, to generate personalized outdoor activity plans. Users input their available time, mood, interests, and location, and the AI provides a suitable activity, a schedule, packing suggestions, and a screen-free challenge, all processed locally for privacy and cost-efficiency.
