A developer has created TrailLens, an AI application built for a hackathon challenge that is explicitly designed to encourage users to spend less time on screens and look beyond them. The tool, built with Google's open-source Gemma model, is being shared in developer and open-source communities, where its counterintuitive goal — an AI that wants you to stop using it — is drawing attention and discussion.
