AI gift for someone who prototypes with agents
Agent prototypes chew tokens, then go quiet. Prepaid credit matches that shape: spend hard, then stop.
What to send
- Prepaid multi-model credit they can wire into a harness
- A note that the balance is the budget
- $50-$250 if they already ship agent demos
A ChatGPT Plus seat is a weak match for API-shaped loops. Gift fuel.
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.
