This new AI chatbot is your personal present-finding wizard

Finding the perfect present isn’t always easy—especially if the people in your life are, let’s say, challenging to shop for.

And while gift guides can be a great resource for certain purposes, they aren’t exactly catered to your personal needs and the tastes of those around you.

So what if AI could save the day? A new AI-powered gift-recommending chatbot has been winning over my colleagues, even leading one to find the just-right gift for her significant other.

Here’s how it works.

Psst: If you love these types of tools as much as I do, check out my free Cool Tools newsletter from The Intelligence. You’ll be the first to find all sorts of simple tech treasures!

Your AI-powered personal shopper

The tool is called ​DreamGift​, and it uses your input to provide personalized ideas for interesting gifts—no matter who they may be for.

➜ To give it a go, just open the DreamGift website​ in any web browser on any phone, tablet, or computer in front of you. From there, click “​Start a chat here​” to get started.

The chatbot will ask you a few quick questions, including the occasion for the gift, the person’s relationship to you, their age, their interests, and how much you’d like to spend. You can click an option within a dropdown list for each question or type out your own more detailed answer, if you’d rather.

You might, for instance, want to describe the specifics of your giftee’s interests more thoroughly than simply choosing “Tech and Gadgets,” “Outdoors,” or “Cooking.” But you can get some worthwhile recommendations just from choosing broad categories, too.

DreamGift lets you describe what you’re after in as much—or as little—detail as you want.

Once you’re done, the site will take a few seconds to put together some recommendations. You’ll see categories like “High-Quality Chef’s Knife Set” and “Personalized Cutting Board” along with individual product recommendations for each category the site offers up.

The products it suggests all come from Amazon—though, of course, you can always opt to use those as mere recommendations and then look the same items up anywhere you like, on your own.

DreamGift’s recommendations include a range of options for each category it gives you.

One of those picks might be just the right gift for the person you have in mind—or, if nothing else, the AI-powered recommendations might give you some good ideas and a push in the right direction to finish searching yourself.

  • DreamGift operates entirely on the web—no downloads or installations required.
  • The site is completely free. It uses Amazon affiliate links and may receive a commission when you click a link and buy a product directly from its suggestions—but, again, you don’t have to limit yourself to those specific store links.
  • The service doesn’t require an account to use and receives only the limited amount of data you share when using it.

Give yourself the gift of productivity with my free Cool Tools newsletter—a single new off-the-beaten-path gem in your inbox every Wednesday!
