Why PackPal uses local Gemma 2

Built for Hacktoberfest 2026, PackPal is powered by Google’s open-weights Gemma 2 model running locally via Ollama. Your private travel dates, friend list, and expenses stay on your computer—with instant deterministic TypeScript fallbacks if the model is offline.

FriendsHACKTOBERFEST 2026 THEME

“Built for a friend who doesn’t want to forget half their suitcase.”

Every group trip starts with excitement and ends up trapped across four different apps: packing lists in Apple Notes, weather on Google, flight tickets in emails, and split bills in messy WhatsApp chats.

PackPal was designed for friends traveling together: enter where you’re going once, let Gemma 2 and SerpApi coordinate gear and weather, pack under cabin weight limits, and settle dinner bills in seconds without awkward math.
