Ripe: put a task off, and a local Gemma grows it into a first draft while you're away
Description and use
Ripe is a local‑LLM powered app that turns postponed tasks into structured drafts by automatically interpreting, planning, generating, reviewing, and revising content in small, saved steps.
Problem
People keep postponing tasks and struggle to start them because the initial blank page and planning feel hard.
Outcome
On a MacBook Air with an M4 chip, a 14‑word task description was processed in 13 minutes, producing five structured pieces totaling 2,545 words; after answering one question, the final review finished in five and a half minutes.
Workflow
- Create a one‑sentence task description
- Put off by specifying a return date
- Ripen: the agent interprets the request, plans 3‑5 steps, generates one piece per step, reviews the whole set
- Return and review the produced content
- Answer any remaining questions and revise if needed
Evidence
Everything in the film is a real run of gemma4:e4b through Ollama on my laptop
The agent interprets the request, splits it into steps, writes one piece per step and finally reviews the whole set
