giveaway-idea-generator

Generate or score giveaway concepts: the hook (launch, milestone, season, holiday, collaboration, daily series), the theme, the mechanic and the Prize direction, matched to the business, the calendar and the objective. Use when the user asks 'giveaway ideas', 'Instagram giveaway ideas', 'win your cart', 'giveaway ideas for my Shopify store', 'what kind of giveaway should we run', 'themes for a Christmas giveaway', 'ideas for our 10k follower milestone', 'something different from a standard giveaway', wants three concepts to choose from, or brings an idea of their own for a verdict.

Use when the user asks 'what should we give away', 'Prize ideas', 'is X a good Prize', 'what Prize should we offer', 'Instagram giveaway Prize', 'giveaway budget', 'Prize bundle', 'what Prize gets the most entries', or mentions a giveaway, contest, sweepstakes, competition or raffle Prize.

Platform-neutral, with Gleam setup help only when the user says they use Gleam. Entry mechanics, timing and promotion are out of scope.

giveaway-promotion-plan

Use when the user asks 'how do I promote my giveaway', 'nobody is entering', 'promotion plan', 'launch posts', 'giveaway email sequence', 'what do I email people who entered', 'partner brief', 'should I boost the post', 'giveaway content calendar', 'what do I reply to comments', 'someone is impersonating us', or has a Prize and dates but no plan to reach people.

giveaway-random-draw

Run or plan a provably fair random draw for a giveaway: commit to the Entrant list and rules before the seed exists, take the seed from a public randomness beacon (drand or NIST) or a published value, pick Winners from a list, CSV, spreadsheet or comment export with deduplication, exclusions, entry weights, tiers and backups, and produce an audit record anyone can verify. Use when the user asks 'pick a Winner', 'draw the Winner', 'random Winner from this list', 'choose 3 Winners from these comments', 'how do I prove the draw was fair', 'redraw', 'backup Winners', 'weighted draw', or pastes a list of Entrants. Platform-neutral. For deciding how many Winners and the terms see giveaway-winner-structure.
