Anyone out there stressing to finish their holiday shopping?? ๐Ÿ›๏ธ  Outdone V2 has arrived to save the day! ๐Ÿช‚ ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿคฉ ๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey Product Hunt, I'm Hugh Lagrotteria, co-founder of Outdone. Weโ€™re a pre-seed startup using AI to transform gift shopping โ€” how people find inspiration, receive recommendations, and discover new brands. Our keystone feature is a quick and easy-to-use gift recommender tool. All you have to do is answer a few brief questions about the person you're shopping for and Outdone will recommend brands and products that are perfectly matched for your recipient. โฎ๏ธ We launched our MVP on Product Hunt this time last year and were blown away by the engagement. Well, we took your feedback to heart and are now back and better than ever with Outdone V2! ๐Ÿ™Œ Here are just a few of our biggest V2 enhancements: โ€”> Increased our brand partnership list from 40 to 100+ โ€”> Now recommending specific products (1300+), not just brands โ€”> Increased our primary data collection volume by 2x โ€”> Expanded into new gifting categories, including homeware, accessories, and subscription services ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ Lastly โ€” As my co-founder (@jonathan_nass) mentioned in our intro video, we will be awarding one lucky Outdone shopper with a free gift purchase. Hereโ€™s how you can throw your hat in the ring โ€” Make a purchase through Outdone and email us (support@outdone.io) a screenshot of your receipt with the subject line โ€œProduct Hunt Launchโ€ to automatically get entered into our random drawing. The winner will be notified by 12PM EST on 12/7 by email, and payment details will be shared then. (Note: This giveaway is limited to one, one-time purchase up to a value of $350). So what are you waiting for? Youโ€™ve got shopping to do! Happy Gifting! ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ™ And a huge thank you to @kevin for hunting and supporting our V2 launch!

@jonathan_nass @hugh_lagrotteria Awesome, and happy to share my experience. I experienced this platform; In one word, I would say: "awesome." Why? How you collect and keep data to get the best gift ideas is amazing. Here are a few things that I am expecting from you: 1. The information that you are gathering would be great If you could give them an option like others, and they can add their suggestion. You can add more suggestions around that. 2. Also, one more thing, the process is very long, and Users may get annoyed after following the process; it Might be more qualitative if he will get feedback with the profile information only. Further, I am looking to see the next version of the launch, which may be for my location too. Thanks
Jonathan Nass
@hugh_lagrotteria @vijay_singh_khatri thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback! We totally agree โ€” we're hoping to give users more options to receive better suggestions. And we absolutely want to A/B test the funnel length in future versions to help improve conversion rates!
Vijay Singh Khatri
@jonathan_nass which A/B Testing tools are you using currently for a better web presence?

Hey Jonathan, congrats on the launch. With the holiday season around the corner. This is a lifesaver :) Unfortunately, it isn't available in India yet :(. Recommending it to a few friends in the states. Good luck :)
Hugh Lagrotteria
Hi, @vishal_godhwani, thank you for the support! Yes, we're currently NYC-based and mainly serving a US-based audience. That said we'd love to expand into other regions as we grow. Really appreciate you sharing with some friends in the states ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
