Prompt Jar: A Tiny Local AI for Creative Blocks 🎨

Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend Submission 🤝

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend

What I Built

I built Prompt Jar for a friend who loves stationery and arts & crafts. You tell it your topic, colors, craft supplies, and time, and it gives you a tiny creative idea. Or just hit Surprise Me and see what happens. ✨

This is my first open-ended AI hackathon, apart from a bit of tinkering on Kaggle. I wanted to take a simple idea and build my own little version of it, join Hacktoberfest, and learn along the way.

How I Built It

Built with Flask, Gemma 3 1B, and Ollama.

The basic app is working, and I'm still tweaking the AI generation to make it follow the user's preferences more reliably.

Why Does Open Innovation Matter?

AI runs locally, so we can get past an art block without ending up browsing online for ideas and procrastinating. ✨
