Hi, how much info does have to be on one's IG account? I tried to test it on me but I got a message that I don't have enough information on my account. To be honest, I don't post that much to the feed (12 posts currently). Love the idea though :) I always struggle with this.

@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 ;)

Hey-Hey Product Hunt! 👋 My name is Ihor, I am the CEO and co-founder of GiftHub 🎁 Together with my co-founders Ira, Yana and Olexiy we’re thrilled to finally launch on Product Hunt! GiftHub story started almost 2 years ago when my girlfriend broke up with me because I presented her a pillow as a gift. For her, pillow appeared to be such a bad gift, that she thought I knew nothing about her and we couldn’t be together anymore. I felt bad. But that was exactly the moment when I understood for sure that picking the right gift is a real and sometimes painful problem. So I decided to try to tackle it. And now, it’s been already more than a year since we’re helping people pick gifts for their closest ones. Till this moment, we were only operating on our local market with a chatbot solution. But today is the day when we’re ready to present our new and international solution - a faster and smarter one! Welcome GiftHub — a web app that picks gifts by analyzing Instagram profiles of the gift-receivers. Just enter a nickname or a link to the page of a person and our smart algorithm will show you a list of tailored gifts for him/her. Moreover, you can click on any gift from the list and order it online from our partner online-shop. You don’t know what gift to buy ➡ you are waiting for it to be delivered. That's a customer journey we want to achieve for you! Soo, we encourage you to share what you think about our product! We are working on a mission of connecting people with each other by helping them express feelings through the right gifts, so any feedback would be of great-great importance! 🔥

@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.

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 🎁 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.

@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

Hi guys! This is such a great idea. I was just wondering how “AI” determines gender? Does it use a binary understanding of gender “female-male” 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.

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?

"stephencurry30" works well.

@osier_yang1 thanks for your feedback! if a person is not found, you probably should check the spelling of a nickname (:
