Hi, I’m Samarth,
This started as a small, fun side project that I did not really plan to ship. Christmas was around the corner and I wanted to gift something to everyone at work. Then there was a new joinee. I had not spoken to him much yet, we had no shared jokes or real history. The only thing I had was his LinkedIn profile.
I felt this is exactly how some workplace Secret Santa situations feel. So I thought, what if Secret Santa could do better than me here. What if it could look at the same LinkedIn profile and somehow figure out a gift that actually fits the person.
I made this mostly for fun, but also because I genuinely wanted to gift something to everyone without it feeling random or forced.
You can try it here: https://secret-santa.100x.bot/
If you try it, share what it comes up with on X and tag us @the100xbot. We are curious to see what you are up to, and who knows, we might gift you something as well this Christmas by being your Secret Santa.
Cheers, and Merry Christmas 🎄
looks very fun to try, do you have web-version? My corporate laptop doesn't allow the installation.
This is a clever hook and a fun use case for AI. Gift selection is one of those problems everyone thinks they’re good at until it’s time to actually decide. Turning that uncertainty into a playful, confident promise is smart.
If this can genuinely reduce decision fatigue and still feel personal, it’s an easy win for Secret Santa, team exchanges, and last-minute gifting. Curious to see how the recommendations stay surprising without feeling generic.
