证据

Touch Grass Tales turns a short walk into an illustrated children's story.

来源

You step outside, photograph 5 to 10 random things and an open‑weight model, Gemma, turns them into a story, a rhyming poem or a comic strip.

来源

The app sends you outside first. Each walk starts with a small mission, like "Photograph something that looks like a face".

来源

The rest of the stack: FastAPI backend with MongoDB (Atlas when deployed) storing every pipeline step.

来源

Location data is stripped: photos are re‑encoded and their EXIF data (including GPS location) is removed on upload.
