Open-source tool uses local AI to generate personalized outdoor activity plans

A developer created Touch Grass Planner, a command-line tool for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge. The tool takes a user's location, an outdoor activity, and notes, then fetches a 7-day weather forecast. It uses the local open-weight AI model Gemma, running via Ollama on the user's machine, to generate a plan with optimal times, a checklist, and tips. The system operates entirely offline if needed, ensuring user data never leaves their computer. The developer tested it by inspecting flower pots and successfully found caterpillars based on the AI's suggested schedule.
