Sant.ai Clause

Inspiration

Secret Santa is a fun Christmas tradition where a group of people exchange gifts anonymously. A survey conducted by GB Posters shows that more than a quarter of the individuals struggle to find the right gift. Sant.ai Clause is a digitized Secret Santa platform that helps users find the perfect gift using social media accounts and AI.

What it does

Wishlist

Sant.ai Clause takes a user’s social media username to analyze their interests. It feeds the results to a product search engine to generate a set of gifts ideal for that user. The user can also opt to add items to their wishlist manually

Secret Santa

A user interested in sending a gift first sets a budget. Based on the budget and their Reddit, they are paired with an individual whose subreddits best align with them. If the user struggles to pick a gift from the wishlist, they can ask Sant.ai Clause to pick one randomly.

Donation to Charity

After purchasing the gift, the user can choose to donate the remaining amount from their budget to a charity.

Matching

We use network analysis to find a similar score for each user. We then compare everyone's similarity to each other and select the least similar people.

Gift Recommendation

We use each user's post on social media to get a list of topics they are interested in. We do this by getting the nouns they posted on Twitter and the subreddits they comment, upvote, and post in.
