I used Codex to help build TrailMate AI with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend, Python and FastAPI for the backend, and Ollama for local inference with an open-weight language model.

The test suite passed 14 tests in the development environment. Running the application with the local model and verifying the complete user experience are still part of my testing process.
