Inspiration - my mom's birthday was coming up but I had no idea what to give her. I really needed a place where I could describe who she is, what she likes, and get some gift suggestions. I noticed that many other people also had the same challenges. I built Gift-i to help people find gifts for their loved ones.
What it does - gift-i is your personal gifting helper. Gift-i recommends the perfect gift for your loved ones.
All you have to do is simply describe the person you want to gift or you want to find a gift for: their age, their gender, their interests and Gift-i will take care of the rest.
Gift-i works with Amazon, eBay, and other platforms to find the hottest products that are the hottest gifts for the interests matching the interests of the person you want to gift. Gift-i also gives you a direct link to these products you can just go and buy it. No need to spend time finding it.
How we built it - I use Lovable, Cursor, and my special love to build Gift-i.
Challenges we ran into - 2 main challenges we faced are : 1. Gathering the right pieces of information to make sure that Gift-i's recommendations are relevant; and 2. Integrating with Amazon, eBay, and other platforms so that we are surfacing the correct information .
Accomplishments that we're proud of - Finding a really good gift for my mom, many friends and family have tried Gift-I and found it useful
What we learned - we learned two things: 1. We had to tweak and find what information we should gather about the person to find a perfect gift for them or to find a relevant gift for them; 2. Integration with Amazon and eBay was also tricky; as we want to make sure that Gift-I provides accurate links to the product listing page on these platforms
What's next for Gift-i - I want to continue to refine Gift-i's frontend and also improve its recommendation engine, including personalization. I also want to add more integration with other platforms like Walmart and Target and show images of the products that it recommends. Last I also want to figure out a monetization strategy and implement it.
