Hey-Hey Product Hunt! πŸ‘‹ My name is Ihor, I am the CEO and co-founder of GiftHub 🎁 Together with my co-founders Ira, Yana and Olexiy we’re thrilled to finally launch on Product Hunt! GiftHub story started almost 2 years ago when my girlfriend broke up with me because I presented her a pillow as a gift. For her, pillow appeared to be such a bad gift, that she thought I knew nothing about her and we couldn’t be together anymore. I felt bad. But that was exactly the moment when I understood for sure that picking the right gift is a real and sometimes painful problem. So I decided to try to tackle it. And now, it’s been already more than a year since we’re helping people pick gifts for their closest ones. Till this moment, we were only operating on our local market with a chatbot solution. But today is the day when we’re ready to present our new and international solution - a faster and smarter one! Welcome GiftHub β€” a web app that picks gifts by analyzing Instagram profiles of the gift-receivers. Just enter a nickname or a link to the page of a person and our smart algorithm will show you a list of tailored gifts for him/her. Moreover, you can click on any gift from the list and order it online from our partner online-shop. You don’t know what gift to buy ➑ you are waiting for it to be delivered. That's a customer journey we want to achieve for you! Soo, we encourage you to share what you think about our product! We are working on a mission of connecting people with each other by helping them express feelings through the right gifts, so any feedback would be of great-great importance! πŸ”₯
Hi Ihor, the website's homepage design is copied from counter.network, you should change it

Hi! I am CTO of GiftHub. Your truth. I found this background picture in the Bulma examples () and decided that this picture is free. Therefore, I will change it in the near future to another one. Sorry about this.
thank you. I will remove my post when it has been changed. Great product btw. upvoted.
Maybe use one of these beautiful free templates:
Looks pretty interesting! I guess over time you would increase the number of potiential gifts and the "search" relevancy. Cool idea, what are your next plans?
Maker
thanks Avery! Yup, we're working on making our gift base bigger and the algorithm is improving with each new session. As for the plans, we want to add some enhanced image recognition of different objects on pictures for the better quality of gift-picking. Also, we'll integrate with other online shops besides Amazon and add some services as gifts 🎁 Let me know if you have any more feedback!
Have you thought about distributing the bot a-crossed many platforms? Facebook, etc. I think Facebook would be the easiest way to build a huge user base.
Maker
we're thinking about adding a feature of reminding people about birthdays of their friends, relatives and others through FB chatbot as a first step. That must keep the retention high.
Awesome work! I think on a large scale this product has a bright future. Very simple, lots of value both b2c and b2b
Maker
yup, the market is just huge! Do we need to tailor it anyhow for B2B, what you think?
I think if you manage to show GifHub users products from small and midsize e-commerce, you will find an economic gap similar to the gap Uber filled. it can be a revolutionary source of traffic for small e-commerce businesses
Maker
interesting. We were thinking about that but were afraid that people do not really trust other online shops besides Amazon. But we'll reconsider it, thanks!
I'm not an expert but Amazon doesn't feel any problems with incoming demand and marketing and I suppose it will be hard to monetise it with them. Small e-commerce, on the contrary, is desperately in need of new way to market their goods and get customers. Plus, I suppose that small e-commerce has a lot of unique products to offer, which is very much aligned with you value proposition. Think about it this way. You sell ideas of gifts. But I can think of everything ordinary myself. Suggest something I wouldn't think about - and that's where you need small unique shops
Maker
got it! Will try to reach out small online-shops, it makes sense, thanks!
Hi, how much info does have to be on one's IG account? I tried to test it on me but I got a message that I don't have enough information on my account. To be honest, I don't post that much to the feed (12 posts currently). Love the idea though :) I always struggle with this.
Maker
hi Kat! Thanks for a question and your feedback. Well, first of all, the profile has to be public. Isn't your profile private? If it's private, we can only analyze your gender and age from the avatar picture (if there's a selfie on it). Secondly, we analyze text you add to the description of your posts. Do you post text?
Hi Ihor! thank you for the reply! My profile is public but as I'm looking through my posts there is not much text to them and sometimes it's not in English so that may be the problem - very understandable. I was kind of wondering what you analyze :)
Maker
as our product partly works on text recognition algorithm, only English text can be analyzed :( But our plans are to enhance our image recognition algorithm as well so that anything on the pictures can be analyzed. Pictures are the universal language, fortunately ;)
Sounds good! Good luck :) FYI just tried it on a friend and it gave me really good suggestions :)
Maker
happy to hear that, I hope you'll remember about us when there's a real need to buy a gift for that friend πŸ”₯
Really cool! I’ve tested on my friends Instagram - not bad suggestions.)
Maker
glad it's helpful! Would you buy anything from the list?
I think I will.)
Hey guys! To be honest, my gift options usually come down to primitive ones without a bit of creativity. I want to test your solution ASAP. Thanks for extending my gift options list. Keep up the good work!
Maker
thanks for your feedback! Btw, as for the options list, now we offer 16 gifts for each person. What do you think, should we add more at once or this is enough?
I believe it depends on the accuracy of your algorithm. If it displays high relevance options - it is more than enough. But sometimes, when we want to pick a gift very carefully, a wider offer list can be decisive.
Maker
got'ya, thanks for an answer!
When I heard 'powered by AI' I think probably doesn't work. What does the AI actually do?
Maker
Hi! Our AI can analyze photos, captions and comments and then determine gifts which are the most relevant for Instagram-page. Besides AI trains on every result of analyzing: it remembers which gifts were clicked and for which parameters.
You should probably try to analyze "following" accounts as well, people often follow small shops, thematic blogs, etc.
Maker
thanks, this is a good idea, but it is too difficult to implement right now. I would be grateful if you would share your thoughts on how we can to identify categories of shops, thematic blogs, etc.
Works super awesome! This website really does its job!
Maker
thanks man! Don't forget to use it when there's a real need for gift-picking (:
Works good! I’ve tested on my own Instagram account - nice suggestions)
Maker
cool! Thanks for a feedback <3
I love the product! Smart and simple!
Maker
happy about that! Yeah, we wanted to make simplicity the core of the product :)
