      <title>My new project</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a submission for the &lt;a href="https://dev.to/challenges/hacktoberfest-week1-2026-10-05"&gt;Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  🌿 TrailSpark AI — One Minute of AI, Then Go Outside
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I Built
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TrailSpark AI is a small outdoor activity planner designed to use AI for the opposite of what we usually expect from AI: &lt;strong&gt;helping people leave the screen&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You tell TrailSpark:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;📍 Where you are&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;⏱️ How much time you have&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;⚡ Your energy level&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;👥 Who you're with&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🌳 What sounds fun&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🚫 Any constraints&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It then turns those preferences into a short outdoor mission with a simple goal, something to notice, a playful challenge, and a stopping point.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea is simple:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use AI for one minute → close the screen → go outside.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The project is aimed at students, remote workers, and anyone who wants a small push to spend more time outdoors without turning it into another complicated planning session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Demo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🌐 &lt;strong&gt;Live Demo:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://trailspark-lprbvtdsa-adityaraj3532.vercel.app/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://trailspark-lprbvtdsa-adityaraj3532.vercel.app/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try entering your preferences and clicking &lt;strong&gt;Generate my mission&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first generation can take a little longer because the open-weight model is downloaded and cached by the browser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Code
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;💻 &lt;strong&gt;GitHub Repository:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://github.com/adityaraj3532/trailspark-ai" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://github.com/adityaraj3532/trailspark-ai&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The project is a static web application built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How I Built It
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The most important part of TrailSpark is that the AI runs &lt;strong&gt;locally in the browser&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I used:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Xenova/flan-t5-small&lt;/strong&gt; — an open-weight model&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Hugging Face Transformers.js&lt;/strong&gt; — to run the model in the browser&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the application&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The basic flow is:&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
text
User preferences
       ↓
Prompt template
       ↓
Xenova/flan-t5-small
       ↓
Local browser inference
       ↓
Outdoor mission
       ↓
📵 Close the screen
       ↓
🌿 Go outside
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
