Hachidaime Gihey Co., Ltd. (Kyoto, Japan; CEO Gihey Hashimoto) has introduced 'Gift Concierge by Hachidaime Gihey' using OpenAI's 'Apps in ChatGPT.' This service allows users to consult on gift selection directly within ChatGPT.
The service supports users in choosing gifts for occasions such as 'Uchiiwai' (return gifts), celebrations, and funeral returns. It provides advice on market prices, etiquette, and relationship-based selection through conversation. Users can compare products with images, prices, and features, alleviating common anxieties like 'not knowing what to send' or 'worrying about etiquette.'
Hachidaime Gihey has a long history of assisting customers via phone, email, and its online store. By combining this deep hospitality expertise with ChatGPT's natural dialogue, they offer a new experience where users can consult whenever they have a need.
Key Features:
1. Conversational advice based on traditional manners and budget standards.
2. Visual comparison with product images, prices, and highlights.
3. No membership required; accessible instantly with a ChatGPT login.
For example, if a user asks about returning a gift for a large university entrance gift from grandparents, the concierge suggests an appropriate budget (1/2 to 1/3 of the amount) and recommends specific premium rice gifts that convey gratitude and elegance. It is designed to make the gift-choosing process proactive and enjoyable even during busy schedules or late nights.
