@ihor_levenets1 Hi Ihor, the website's homepage design is copied from counter.network, you should change it
@ihor_levenets1 @gerryeng Hi! I am CTO of GiftHub.
Your truth. I found this background picture in the Bulma examples (https://bulma.io/expo/) and decided that this picture is free.
Therefore, I will change it in the near future to another one. Sorry about this.
@ihor_levenets1 @kovolexiy thank you. I will remove my post when it has been changed. Great product btw. upvoted.
@ihor_levenets1 @gerryeng @kovolexiy Maybe use one of these beautiful free templates: https://cruip.com/
@tinymusiclama 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?
@ihor_levenets1 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 :)
@tinymusiclama 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 ;)
@ihor_levenets1 Sounds good! Good luck :) FYI just tried it on a friend and it gave me really good suggestions :)
@tinymusiclama happy to hear that, I hope you'll remember about us when there's a real need to buy a gift for that friend ๐ฅ
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?
@avery_schrader 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 ๐
Let me know if you have any more feedback!
@ihor_levenets1 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.
@avery_schrader 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.
@rrhoover how does it feel when Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg pick a gift for your birthday? ๐บ
p.s. the algorithm is much smarter now (we added text recognition for posts description) since the last time you saw it - no more chocolate sets for you! ๐ซ we'll be happy if you test it out! (:
@ihor_levenets1 how come you had to discontinue this app? I'm working on a similar idea, do you mind if I get in touch with you?
When I heard 'powered by AI' I think probably doesn't work. What does the AI actually do?
@joshdance 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.
@joshdance @kovolexiy You should probably try to analyze "following" accounts as well, people often follow small shops, thematic blogs, etc.
@vladyslav_siriniok 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.
@ihor_levenets1 is the product still working? Tried an Instgaram handle and the site was stuck at the loading spinner.
Awesome product, but seems it doesn't work well in some cases. For example, when I typed "jharden13" (James Harden), it just prompts the person can not be found. What's wrong with it?
@osier_yang1 thanks for your feedback! if a person is not found, you probably should check the spelling of a nickname (:
Applause for the Great work! Been looking for the perfect solution before, but none is found. This is simplest and best I've known.
It would be nice, if Brand owner can collaborate by promoting related product (like coffee in my case) in the list. Contact me if you have it later.
@mickeel thanks a lot for your kind words! Send me a link to your product in PH DM ;)
Awesome work! I think on a large scale this product has a bright future. Very simple, lots of value both b2c and b2b
@vitaly_kotik yup, the market is just huge! Do we need to tailor it anyhow for B2B, what you think?
@ihor_levenets1 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
@vitaly_kotik 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!
@ihor_levenets1 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
@vitaly_kotik got it! Will try to reach out small online-shops, it makes sense, thanks!
GiftHub is a sleek and simple way for me to get gift ideas for my friends. I'm looking forward to using it and also seeing how it grows.
@jamie_slate thanks for your feedback, Jamie! We'll keep you updated ;)
Hi guys! This is such a great idea. I was just wondering how โAIโ determines gender? Does it use a binary understanding of gender โfemale-maleโ or does it know about the spectrum of gender? Can it, for example, recognize an IG profile of a queer individual?
@julia_tymoshenko that's a cool question! We may train it to recognize a profile of a queer individual, but there's no need for it yet. As for now, the algorithm uses a binary spectrum.
I really like the idea of only needing a profile to get good products. Any chance you can make it work with Twitter profiles too?
@ryan_thornton_smilerryan_ hey, thanks for your kind words! I think yes, it's possible, there's a lot of data to analyze on Twitter, but we would focus on Instagram as a first priority.
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!
@vladimir_savvakin 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?
@ihor_levenets1 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.
Wow, it's very interesting. I always have a problem with gifts and I hope, that now this problem will be solved. But now, I must register in Instagram my grandmother:)
@new_user_210c04835f just wait a little bit when we add a web-chatbot for this kind of occasions ๐
@roman_sevastyanov thanks man! Don't forget to use it when there's a real need for gift-picking (:
Interesting idea, but when i look at multiple people, it seems the gifts are a bit repetitive.
@conrad_ehing oh, it actually depends on profiles being analyzed. Overal our gift base is ~400 products as for now but if the algorithm doesn't recognize enough data in the profile, it chooses among 60-80 products.
But we'll keep adding more gifts, thanks for your insight!
@anastasia_avramenko thanks for your feedback!
We plan to add more gifts in our data base, integrate with more shops besides Amazon, add a web-chatbot on the site to cover people without Instagram account and maybe create a Facebook chatbot for reminding people about birthdays of their closest ones.
Really cool! Iโve tested on my friends Instagram - not bad suggestions.)
@andrey_anisimov glad it's helpful!
Would you buy anything from the list?
