Brass

AI gift for a coworker (not awkward)

Office gifting goes wrong when it feels like surveillance or a homework subscription.

Safe pattern

  1. Pick a modest pack ($10-$50).
  2. Send with one line: “AI credit for whatever you are building. No renewal.”
  3. Do not ask which models they use at work.
  4. Do not gift into a work SSO account you do not control.

Lab gift cards are fine if you know they use ChatGPT personally (OpenAI). Multi-model credit is safer when you do not know.

Brass sells prepaid packs of $10 to $250 you can gift by email or as a card you print. Credits never expire. The recipient spends them across Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek. US only, 18 and over; an unclaimed gift returns to you after 90 days.
