TrailQuest AI 🌿 — Less scrolling. More exploring.

I’m working on TrailQuest AI, an outdoor quest companion for the Touch Grass open-source AI challenge.

Choose a Nature Walk, Birdwatching session, Photography Hunt, or Gardening activity. Set your available time and energy level, add an optional interest, and get a short mission with practical tasks and safety reminders. Complete the tasks to earn Trail Points, then put your phone away and enjoy the outdoors.

Why this idea?

Technology can help us start an activity without becoming the activity itself. TrailQuest is designed to make the phone a starting point for curiosity—not something to keep staring at.

Built with

• Python and Flask
• HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Browser local storage for Trail Points
• Optional Ollama integration for local open-weight model inference
• Built-in mission library as a fallback when local AI is unavailable

AI status: The current demo uses the built-in mission library unless Ollama is installed, running, and confirmed by the app. Live local AI generation has not been verified.

Outdoor test

I plan to test TrailQuest outdoors and share what I observe after trying it.
