Situation
The recipient was clear. The gift was not.
Gift buyers often know who they are shopping for but not which products fit. A large catalog and unfamiliar flavor names can make choosing feel like guesswork.
Challenge
A thoughtful choice needed more context.
The shortlist had to satisfy the occasion, recipient’s interests, budget and timing together. The agent needed to ask useful questions without promising unsupported stock, delivery dates or dietary suitability.
What we built
A gift brief turned into a shortlist.
The gifting agent asks a few well-chosen questions about the recipient, occasion, budget and timing. It retrieves eligible products and gift sets, checks availability and prepares a shortlist.
Each explanation stays grounded in product facts, and missing dietary or delivery information prompts clarification rather than an unsupported promise.
