WildMinute: Open-Weight AI That Gets You Off the Screen

Description and use

WildMinute is a local‑first adventure planner that uses Gemma 3 1B via Ollama to generate micro‑adventures, routes, spotting prompts, and journals, keeping all data offline and privacy‑respectful.

Problem

Users want a simple, privacy‑respectful tool to plan short outdoor adventures without relying on cloud services or GPS.

Outcome

WildMinute demonstrates that a privacy‑first, local‑AI powered adventure planner can guide users from planning to reflection without cloud dependencies, while keeping all personal data on the device.

Workflow

• 1. User selects duration, activity, mood, and optional area in the UI.
• 2. Node.js server sends a prompt to local Ollama (Gemma 3 1B).
• 3. Model returns a mission, route outline, and spotting prompts.
• 4. App displays the plan and offline checklist.
• 5. User explores outdoors, recording notes and photos in the browser’s IndexedDB.
• 6. After the walk, user triggers journal generation; model creates a short recap or uses a template.
• 7. All data remains on the device; no GPS or analytics are requested.

Evidence

WildMinute uses Gemma 3 1B through Ollama for AI-generated missions and journal text.

Source

The app doesn’t request GPS permission or require an account. Preferences and fieldbook data are stored in the browser on the current device, and photos are not sent to the model.

The route output is a suggested route shape, not turn‑by‑turn navigation or a verified trail recommendation.
