Validating an idea: gifting subscriptions for AI tools

Hey everyone!

I’m currently validating a small idea that came from a personal frustration: you can’t gift most AI tools.

There’s no way to give someone a month of ChatGPT Pro, Cursor, Gemini, etc.

For tools that devs and AI-people use every day, it feels like an oddly missing feature.

So I’m exploring whether there’s real demand for a simple service that would let you gift AI/SaaS subscriptions.

The concept is super straightforward:

choose a tool → choose a duration → receive a gift code → send it to a friend/colleague.

What I’ve done so far:

• put up a basic landing page to capture early interest

• describing the idea and collecting initial feedback

• began prototyping the initial workflow

Right now I’m mostly trying to understand whether the core pain is real.

I’d love your thoughts:

• Would you ever gift an AI tool to someone?

• Which tools feel “gift-worthy” to you personally?

• Am I missing an obvious reason why gifting isn’t supported?

• Does this sound like a real use case or a niche itch?
