Zapigo is the world's first agentic gift card for those who like giving thoughtful gifts but are time-starved.

Gifters simply set a budget, add a warm video greeting and send to the recipient's phone number.

Zapigo's gifting genie helps the recipient pick the perfect gift from a vast catalog curated from Amazon and online brands.

Recipient has their gift delivered directly.  Gifter only pays for what is delivered.

Addresses the gifting problem. Most people regift specific gifts.

Gift cards are impersonal, not memorable and feel transactional.

Zapigo's product suite addresses all celebrations
