I m asking because I ve been building SoftlyWished, a website that turns a short written message into a personalized, human-edited video wish. It made me realize how powerful small digital gestures can be, they stay with us.
So I d love to hear your experiences. What digital gift touched you the most, and why?
Hi everyone! I'm Sam, the creator of SoftlyWished, the first website for personalized video wishes, where you simply write a message, and we turn it into a human-edited video that feels emotional, warm, and real.
I d love your thoughts on this question:
Do you think AI-assisted video greetings can feel personal, or do heartfelt moments always need to be handmade?
Your feedback means a lot as I prepare for SoftlyWished's launch on November 26. Happy to answer any questions about building it, the tech behind it, or the journey so far!
