TrailMate: an offline AI companion that gets you outside

What I Built

Most AI apps keep us on our screens. TrailMate is built to do the opposite: it turns any walk into a small outdoor adventure and keeps the screen as the shortest part of the experience.

You pick how much time you have and what mood you're in, and TrailMate gives you a short quest, like walking 800 m, finding two different trees, or sitting somewhere quiet for five minutes. Then you put the phone away and go outside. When you photograph something, an open-weight vision model running on your phone identifies it, even in airplane mode. You earn XP, levels and badges for real-world activity, and you finish with a Touch Grass Score and a short recap.

I have researched the requirements from all specification documents (PRD.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, AI_MODELS.md, DATA_MODEL.md, and REWARDS.md), created an implementation plan in trailmate_implementation_plan.md, and executed the implementation.

Key Accomplishments & Deliverables

1. Zero Cloud Runtime & On-Device AI Pipeline

Inference Web Worker (src/workers/inference.worker.ts): Off-main-thread inference with @huggingface/transformers CLIP zero-shot classification.
Curated Campus Dataset (public/labels/campus.json): 38 biodiversity items across flora, birds, insects, and campus landmarks with hints.
Honest AI Threshold (src/features/identify/IdentifyModal.tsx): Adheres to the 0.35 confidence threshold. Under 35% displays "Not sure — try another angle" with alternatives and advice.

2. Local-First Event-Sourced Storage (Dexie)

Database Schema (src/lib/db.ts): IndexedDB storage with indexed tables for adventures, discoveries, xp_events, badge_unlocks, and gps_points.
Append-Only XP Ledger: Totals and levels are derived at runtime with daily safety caps (500 XP/day max).

3. Core Walk Tracking & Outdoor UI (360px Mobile-Fi

<truncated 501 bytes>
ib/geo.ts)): Filters GPS noise (> 30 m accuracy rejected) and teleportation jumps (> 12 km/h walking speed rejected).

Score Calculator (src/features/journal/score.ts): Evaluates outdoor time, distance, discoveries, and penalizes screen checks.
Recap & PNG Share Card (src/features/journal/RecapView.tsx): Renders celebratory confetti, auto-generates a story journal entry, and exports a high-resolution expedition card.
Rewards & Badges Gallery (src/features/rewards/RewardsView.tsx): Level progression (Grass Starter → Trail Master) and all 6 MVP badges including No Signal Explorer.

5. PWA & Offline Support

Service Worker (vite.config.ts): Pre-caches the application shell and model assets via vite-plugin-pwa.
Simulated Airplane Mode Toggle: Built into the navigation bar so you can test and verify offline flows directly on desktop.

Verification & Testing Results

Unit Tests (npm run test):
- src/test/score.test.ts — 4/4 passed (formula ratios, penalties, clamps).
- src/test/geo.test.ts — 5/5 passed (Haversine distances, GPS jitter, speed limits).
- src/test/xpEngine.test.ts — 4/4 passed (event summation, daily caps, level progression, badge unlock logic).
- Total: 13/13 passing tests.
Production Build (npm run build):
- TypeScript strict check: 0 errors.
- Production bundles generated in dist/ with dist/sw.js and manifest.webmanifest.

How TrailMate Works

TrailMate is built on a simple philosophy: make the screen the shortest part of an outdoor experience. It uses on-device, open-weight AI so college students can disconnect from screens and explore nature even when there is zero cellular signal.

2. The Core Systems Explained

A. Quest Generator (`src/features/quest/questGenerator.ts`)

Inputs: Walk Duration (15, 30, or 60 min), Walk Mood (relax, adventure, fitness, photo, social), and Intensity (easy, medium, hard).
Template Matching: It filters a curated pool of 20+ templates (e.g., "Find a patch of green moss on a trunk", "Sit under canopy for 3 minutes", "Brisk walk 1,000 meters", *"Photograph a Neem or Pe <truncated 2884 bytes> appended to IndexedDB:
- Start adventure: $+10\text{ XP}$
- Every 500 m: $+10\text{ XP}$ (up to $+200\text{ XP}$)
- Plant ID: $+15\text{ XP}$, Bird ID: $+20\text{ XP}$
- Quest completion: $+50\text{ XP}$
- Daily cap of $500\text{ XP}$ enforced to prevent tampering.
Level Progression: Grass Starter ($0\text{ XP}$) $\rightarrow$ Trail Walker ($100\text{ XP}$) $\rightarrow$ Nature Explorer ($300\text{ XP}$) $\rightarrow$ Trail Adventurer ($700\text{ XP}$) $\rightarrow$ Trail Master ($1500\text{ XP}$).
6 Badges: Includes No Signal Explorer (awarded for finishing a walk completely offline in airplane mode), First Step, Trail Walker ($10\text{ km}$ total), Bird Watcher, Tree Hugger, and 3-Day Streak.

F. Offline Caching & PWA (`vite.config.ts`)

Pre-caches the HTML, JS bundles, and WebAssembly runtime using vite-plugin-pwa and Workbox.
When you turn on Airplane Mode, the entire flow (Quest Setup $\rightarrow$ Walk Tracking $\rightarrow$ Camera Inference $\rightarrow$ Journal Recap) continues to work.

🌐 Community Wisdom

When engineering offline client-side AI and progressive web applications, community patterns highlight two critical principles:

Decoupling AI Inference from the UI Thread: As discussed in the dev.to and developer community analysis of browser AI (e.g., Tighten: Client-Side AI in the Browser and DEV: Offline-First PWAs), running neural networks directly on the main thread causes dropped frames and unresponsive gestures. Offloading @huggingface/transformers to a dedicated WebWorker via postMessage is essential for maintaining responsive 60fps mobile interfaces.
Local-First Event-Sourcing over State Mutation: Storing append-only event records in IndexedDB (Dexie) prevents state corruption, enables offline auditability, and allows derived metrics (like streaks and level thresholds) to be recomputed without database migrations.

How I used AI

Claude (chat): planned the offline-first architecture, reviewed my code, and found bugs, such as the model never loading and the offline runtime depending on a CDN.
Google Antigravity: wrote and ran the code (two sessions embedded above).
Me: tested everything on a real campus walk and made the final decisions.

Demo

Live app: https://trail-mate-psi.vercel.app/
Code: https://github.com/piyush-of/TrailMate

Why Open?

The open model is the reason this app works, not an add-on.

It works with no signal. Trails and campus paths often have none. The model runs in the browser, so photo ID works in airplane mode, as shown in the demo.
Photos stay on the device. Nothing is uploaded to a server I don't control.
It costs nothing to run. No API key, no per-photo charge, no bill if people use it a lot.
I can change it. The list of things TrailMate recognises is a plain JSON file, so I adapted it to my campus. The model can be swapped without rewriting the app.

Where a closed API would be better: a large cloud model would probably recognise rare species more accurately. But it needs a connection, costs money and uploads every photo. For an app meant to be used on a trail, those trade-offs matter more than a few extra species.

How It Works

App: React + Vite + TypeScript, installable as a PWA.
AI: Transformers.js running CLIP (Xenova/clip-vit-base-patch32, quantized) in a Web Worker, so the UI never freezes.
Zero-shot identification: photos are compared against a curated list of campus plants, birds and insects. I also added "not nature" labels (person, screen, room) so a photo of a laptop isn't forced into a species.
Honest confidence: results show a confidence score, and below 35% the app says "Not sure — try another angle" instead of guessing.
Local-first data: adventures, discoveries and XP live in IndexedDB. XP is an append-only event ledger with plausibility checks and daily caps.
Offline: a service worker caches the app and the ONNX runtime. After a one-time download of the AI pack, the whole flow works without internet.

I Took It Outside

I tested TrailMate on a 30-minute walk around my campus, in airplane mode, and photographed 15 things.

Result	Photos
Identified correctly	10
"Not sure" (no guess made)	3
Wrong	2

So 10 of 15 were correct overall. When the app committed to an answer it was right 10 of 12 times, and on the 3 photos where it wasn't confident it said "not sure" instead of guessing. That is the behaviour I wanted. The two wrong answers were both leaf photos: a close-up of a single leaf has little to go on, and similar-looking leaves get confused. Next time I would photograph the whole tree or the bark together with the leaf. It worked offline the whole walk, with no signal and no data used.

Limitations

Zero-shot accuracy depends on the label list, and look-alike species can be confused.
The first download is large, so Wi-Fi is recommended.
Web apps can only track GPS reliably with the screen on, so TrailMate asks the phone to stay awake during a walk.
Quest items like "sit quietly for 5 minutes" are honour-system ticks.
The XP checks are plausibility checks and caps. They are not tamper-proof.

What's Next

Faster identification by precomputing label embeddings, bird-call audio ID, a campus leaderboard, and weekly challenges.

Hisaab Dost: A Private Hinglish Expense Companion for Priya, Built on Gemma

Piyush kumawat — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 06:54:19 +0000

Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend

Who I built this for

I built Hisaab Dost for Priya, a friend who lives in a university hostel in India on a monthly allowance from her family. Before writing any code I sat down and interviewed her. Her answers, in her own words:

When did you last wonder

" where did my money go? At the end of the month when I want to buy a new dress then I got realize that all money has gone."

How do you track spending today, and why does it fail?

"By writing in the notepad or sometimes texting on my own phone number, it usually fails due to randomness and sometimes I forgot to even write."

Type, speak, or paste SMS?

"I would love to speak more than type in Hinglish."
Does it bother you if the data lives on a company server?

"Because it's my personal data and I would like to keep it private."

What number do you actually want to know?

"The money I can spend to last safely until end of the month."

That last answer became the whole product: one number, the safe daily limit = (budget - spent) / days left.

What it does

Type messy Hinglish like chai 20, auto 60, mess 3500, rohit ko 500 udhaar, or paste bank/UPI SMS alerts.
A local Gemma model (via Ollama) turns the text into structured expenses.
She sees an editable preview, with duplicate warnings, before anything is saved.
A dashboard shows spending by category and whether her allowance will last. All of that math is plain TypeScript and SQL.
An optional weekly note, phrased by Gemma from the pre-computed numbers.

Stack: Next.js, SQLite (better-sqlite3), Zod, Ollama + Gemma.

Why open and local mattered

Privacy: her spending (where she eats, who she lends to) is never sent to a cloud AI. That was her own requirement.
Cost: no API key and no per-request bill, which matters on a student budget.
Control: the model and prompts are mine to change. I can swap gemma4:12b for gemma4:e4b with one environment variable, and tune the prompt for words like udhaar, maggi and 2 hazaar.
Honest caveat: the optional mic button uses the browser's speech recognition, which may use an online service. Typing and pasting stay fully local.
Design decisions
The LLM parses and phrases; code does the math. Small models are unreliable at arithmetic, so totals, runway and the daily limit never come from the model.
Preview before save. Raw model output never reaches the database without her confirming it.
days_ago instead of dates. The model outputs 0, 1 or 2 for today, kal and parso, and code converts that into a real date. While reviewing the code I also found that I was building the date from UTC, which is wrong in India before 5:30 AM, so it now uses local time.
Schema-constrained output plus Zod plus one retry.
Honest numbers

I wrote a golden set of 20 realistic inputs (eval/golden.json): Hinglish verbs, typos (autoo 60), amounts like 1.5k and 2 hazaar, UPI/bank SMS debits, and noise that must return nothing (an OTP, a credit alert, a reminder).

> Run with Gemma 4 12B on a student laptop:
> Metric Result
> Line pass rate 18 / 20 (90%)
> Row match recall 21 / 22 (95%)
> Average latency ~74 s per parse

What went wrong:

It was slow. The first parse took 213 s while the model loaded, and one case timed out. The 12B model is too heavy for her laptop, so the fix is the smaller plus keeping the model loaded between parses.
Case 11 (yesterday cafe cold coffee 120) came back as food; my golden set says chai_snacks. Amount and date were correct, so this is a category judgement call.
Case 20 was a plain reminder that should return nothing; it failed only because of the timeout.
Bank SMS with credited and OTP messages are correctly ignored (cases 18 and 19), because the SMS prompt only accepts explicit debits.

Where a closed cloud model would likely win: raw speed on weak hardware and odd phrasing. Where open won: privacy, zero cost, and the freedom to change the model and prompt for one specific person.

What Priya said

After she tried it herself, this is what Priya told me (spelling lightly cleaned up, nothing added):

"The app is going to help me a lot. It's private, so I don't need to worry about safety, and I can easily trust it. Also my laptop is high performance, so this model runs easily on my laptop."

Two things stand out. She went straight to trust and privacy, which is exactly what she said in the interview, and it is the reason the model runs locally instead of in the cloud. And she says it runs easily on her machine, while my own laptop averaged about 74 seconds per parse with the 12B model in my eval, so hardware matters a lot, and it is why the model is a one-line setting.
