# Wildhunt_AI > Source: > Published: 2026-10-11 02:13:05+00:00 This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built WildHunt AI is a privacy-first, open-source AI scavenger hunt that turns your phone into a guide for exploring the physical world. Instead of asking people to spend more time interacting with an AI chatbot, WildHunt gives them a reason to put the screen down, go outside, observe their surroundings, and come back only when they have something worth showing the AI. The core loop is: Choose a Hunt ↓ Get a mission ↓ Go outside ↓ Find the target ↓ Take a photo ↓ Local AI verifies it ↓ Unlock the next discovery WildHunt supports different exploration styles such as: 🌿 Nature 🏙️ Urban Explorer 🎨 Colors 🪨 Texture 👀 Observation 📍 Landmark Hunt The important part is that the AI isn't simply performing generic image classification. It evaluates the submitted photo against the specific mission the user was given. For example, if the mission is to find a naturally yellow object outdoors, the AI checks whether the photograph actually satisfies that mission. Most AI products compete for your attention. WildHunt uses AI to give your attention back to the physical world. Who is it for? WildHunt is designed for anyone who wants a lightweight reason to explore: -Students taking a break from studying -Developers spending too much time at their desks -Families looking for simple outdoor activities -People exploring a new neighborhood -Anyone who wants to turn a walk into a small adventure Demo 🎥 Video Demo: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/17hSBEzV7f4hfPKQCj0GlNb3MraOQQwBd/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/17hSBEzV7f4hfPKQCj0GlNb3MraOQQwBd/view?usp=sharing) The demo shows the complete WildHunt-AI experience: 1.Starting a hunt 2.Receiving a mission 3.Capturing a discovery 4.Sending the image to the local vision model 5.Receiving mission-specific verification 6.Continuing the hunt The application runs as a responsive Progressive Web App, so it can be used directly from a phone browser without requiring a native mobile application.
