ShowHN: Ollie - AI powered gift recommendations<p>Hi HN!<p>I'm Jaba, employee #1 (or 2?) at Confabulation Corporation. We're building Ollie - an AI-powered shopping assistant who works for you. We've been at it for about 3 months, and today we're launching our v0: gift recommendations. Would love for you to try it out and give feedback, thanks!<p>The company was spun out of the Allen Institute's AI2 incubator. Bill Lennon, one of our founders was an Entrepreneur in Residence there. Our other co-founders are Matt Busigin, and Max Fergus.<p>Having gone back to school as a mature student to study Biophysics, I put out some low-key feelers for a summer job. Matt (who I'd worked with before) convinced me to drop out of school (again!) and "come do crazy things" with him. He reached out to me on a Thursday, I talked to Bill on Friday, and by Sunday I was all in. Then I met Max, on Monday. All in squared.<p>It's still early days, but we're finding that the ideation and gift suggestions are already useful. How does it work for you?<p>Thanks for having a look!<p>Ollie: <a href="https://heyollie.ai" rel="nofollow">https://heyollie.ai</a><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/HeyOllieAi" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/HeyOllieAi</a><p>Product Hunt: <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/posts/heyollie-ai" rel="nofollow">https://www.producthunt.com/posts/heyollie-ai</a><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/heyollieai/" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/company/heyollieai/</a>
Show HN is no guarantee of getting any traction or feedback these days especially with the firehose of AI integrations. I wish you well on your personal career journey and don't take this as a market signal other than you didn't get lucky in the front page algorithm maybe try again soon. I saw the smol ai copilot thing guy drop two Show HNs then pop up on another post days later that had a hundred comments. Anyhow good luck and seeing giftwrap.ai on the gpt plugin list is the real market signal you should concentrate on if they do well you are also in a good position all things being equal.
