AI gift for an open source maintainer

Maintainers drown in issues and docs. Prepaid credit is a thank-you they can burn on triage helpers and draft replies.

Why it works

• No new SaaS admin
• Fixed amount you choose
• They spend it when a release week gets noisy

Ask before assuming they want AI in the project. Some maintainers refuse bots in their repos; personal credit for their own writing still helps.

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.

Still shopping for the holidays? A Brass pack goes by email or as a card you print at home, so it is there the day you give it. Send a pack.
