Developer creates digital detox app where local AI names user experiences after personal reflection.

A developer built a web app called 'Back to Being' as part of an open-source AI challenge. The app facilitates a digital detox ritual where users first go outside to observe their surroundings without technology, then later write about their experience. Only after this personal reflection does a local AI model, running on the user's own computer, read the text and generate descriptive badges based on the user's exact words. The project aims to keep the experience and its description entirely personal, using AI only as a final, non-intrusive tool. The app is a static site built with React and TypeScript, requiring local setup with Ollama and the Gemma model to create badges.
