If you happen to’ve been using the wave of Bitcoin’s newest surge or watching your crypto pockets develop, the vacations would possibly really feel like the right time to show these good points into memorable presents.
However as any seasoned gifter is aware of, an enormous price ticket doesn’t all the time assure an enormous impression.
That is the place SantaBot—our AI agent experiment designed that can assist you step up your gift-giving sport—will help.
The undertaking began with a easy query: May AI decode private chat messages to counsel extra significant presents to your mates and family members? Because it seems, it might.
Designed to take the guesswork out of giving, SantaBot digs by way of dialog histories to construct detailed persona profiles, gathering insights about their habits, preferences, and different elements.
It even maps out Myers-Briggs and Enneagram persona sorts primarily based on how folks speak to one another.
The software supplies inventive personalization concepts to make every present actually distinctive.
As an illustration, you could possibly present your son a baseball bat engraved along with his uniform quantity and initials or shock your spouse with a smartwatch that includes straps in her favourite colour. These small, considerate touches could make a huge impact.
Fingers-On
Earlier than giving my bot to the world, I made a decision to offer it a attempt. I uploaded my WhatsApp dialog with my spouse and requested her to inform me the most effective presents I might give her.
SantaBot psychoanalyzed my spouse’s WhatsApp messages, and folk, we have ourselves a licensed Sort 2 persona (Helper, Giver) with a serious love for desserts and health.
In response to the bot, she’s what persona specialists name an ESFJ (Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging), principally somebody who’d set up a gaggle hug after which be certain everybody stuffed out a satisfaction survey afterward.
The persona evaluation exhibits she ranks excessive in agreeableness and extraversion, reasonable in neuroticism (their phrases, not mine—I worth my life), and has a sensible streak that by some means would not apply to transportation decisions.
The bot did not simply cease at primary persona traits. It went full CIA analyst on our conversations, noting some fascinating issues like her use of “Te quiero mucho mi flaquito” (translation: “I really like you, my skinny one”) to her appreciation for little particulars as a substitute of luxurious issues.
SantaBot even picked up on her Uber dependancy sooner than our bank card firm.
It painted an image of somebody who’s health-conscious however will not stroll two blocks if there is a automotive service obtainable—which isn’t 100% however is simple to deduce if the one factor you realize about her is our dialog historical past.
Now, for the present recommendations, these have been a few of the most fun picks.:
For the sensible aspect:
A Miniature Chocolate Fountain with a custom-made base that claims “Edgli’s [her nickname] Candy Spot.” (contemplating she confirmed curiosity in shopping for one for future occasions)
An “Uber Survival Package” with a pay as you go card (cheaper than shopping for her an precise automotive) or a mug with “Boss of Uber Requests” printed on it.
A literal vault for her chocolate stash with “Hold Out, Except You are Amorsito” engraved on it—so I avoid it.
For the flowery pants moments:
A customized field with desserts from Venezuela and Brazil.
A spa equipment named “Aromas de Edgli” (a lot fancier than “Scent Like My Spouse”).
A leather-based planner embossed with “Amorsito’s Plans.”
A Star Map Print showcasing the constellations of a significant date, just like the day we met or the day our daughter was born.
And for when cash is not any object:
A smartwatch to assist her hold monitor of her health exercise and burn energy.
A designer purse together with her initials embossed.
A weekend getaway that includes a chocolate-tasting expertise in Gramado (principally a desert safari in one in every of Brazil’s finest vacationer locations).
It additionally advisable some humorous present concepts, together with a “Drama Queen Survival Package” (which she would hate), a “Customized Emoji Pillow” (which she would love) and a personalised apron with a nickname like “Chef Sass Grasp”
I in contrast SantaBot head-to-head in opposition to common ChatGPT to see the way it stacked up.
The distinction was clear—whereas normal ChatGPT performed it protected with generic recommendations, our specialised model picked up on delicate hints.
It’s not like its recommendations have been ineffective, fairly than much less private.
How you can Get Santa Bot’s Assist
To make use of our software, you will need to add your dialog historical past and work together with the mannequin, asking for suggestions.
You may then go together with follow-up questions, asking for extra recommendations, personalization concepts, offering extra contextual or customized data, and so on. The extra data the AI handles, the higher the outcomes ought to be.
Some good beginning prompts may be so simple as “Please fastidiously analyze this dialog and inform me what presents she/he would really like” to issues as advanced as “What are the most effective presents I might give to an individual with an ENFP sort of persona.”
You can even play with the software and iterate with it. As soon as it supplies a reply, you possibly can ask for extra recommendations, ask for funnier suggestions, ask for extra romantic present suggestions, and so on. All of it relies on your intentions and expectations.
Exporting chats is fairly easy, relying on which messaging app you employ.
WhatsApp customers can export chats from the app, although iMessage of us want to make use of instruments like iMazing to get their dialog information. Related choices exist for Telegram, Fb, Instagram, and TikTok customers. Simply google them.
Additionally, make sure you solely add textual content conversations, so export your information with out photographs, voice notes, or paperwork.
This, in fact, means there are privateness issues that it’s best to tackle. SantaBot requires entry to these conversations to create its detailed profiles.
Sharing such private information with out permission might be unethical. The repair is not excellent, but it surely works: Ask the opposite particular person for permission to make use of the dialog for an AI experiment. In the event that they agree, you’re good to go.
If you happen to don’t wish to go that route, you possibly can take different steps.
First, names ought to be anonymized in exported chats by changing them with placeholders. For this, open your TXT file, choose the choice to edit and substitute textual content (this can range in response to your textual content processor), and select to alter the title for the placeholder in each occasion. Save that file and add it to ChatGPT.
Second, guarantee OpenAI can’t use that chat to coach its fashions. For that, the very first thing you are able to do is modify your ChatGPT settings to disable recollections. To take action, click on in your profile image within the prime proper nook of ChatGPT, go to settings, personalize it, and switch off “Reminiscence.”
Alternatively, you possibly can click on on “Handle” after your dialog is finished and delete any reminiscence that might be created mentioning your newest chat.
Moreover, you possibly can stop OpenAI from coaching its mannequin along with your dialog by blocking the potential of utilizing your information—which is allowed by default.
To vary that, go to Settings, click on on Knowledge controls, and switch off the choice “Enhance the mannequin for everybody.” This sounds fairly, however in non-corpo language, it may be translated as “Let OpenAI use your conversations to coach its fashions totally free and doubtless cost you extra as soon as they get extra highly effective.”
General, constructing GPTs and specialised brokers can convey sensible options to on a regular basis challenges, just like the artwork of gifting.
Our AI could shock you with intelligent concepts that flip strange presents into unforgettable gestures so that you may be as profitable in your loved ones reunions as you assume you might be buying and selling crypto.
On the very least, when the presents miss the mark, you may have one thing higher accountable than your lack of creativity.
