TouchGrass AI — Let AI Plan It, You Go Outside

Description and use

TouchGrass AI – an app that uses a local AI model to generate personalized outdoor activity plans, helping users reduce screen time.

Problem

Users spend too much time on screens instead of engaging in outdoor activities.

Outcome

The application enables users to quickly generate tailored outdoor missions, encouraging them to reduce screen time and engage with nature.

Workflow

• Enter activity preferences (type, time, energy, environment, solo/group, interests, optional location).
• Generate mission via local AI model.
• View mission details and start timer.
• Put phone away and execute mission outdoors.

Evidence

TouchGrass AI helps people turn their free time into simple outdoor activities instead of spending more time on their screens.

Source

The AI can run locally on the user's computer. The user's activity preferences can therefore stay on their own machine instead of automatically being sent to a remote AI service.
