Organizing a Secret Santa can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a little chaotic, right? The good news is that this can now be done using artificial intelligence. You don’t need to download apps or trust your data to unknown sites. With ChatGPT (or alternatives like Gemini and Copilot), you can set up a giveaway and have it ready in minutes. Below we will tell you how to do this.
Why use AI to prank the “Secret Buddy”?
AI drawing has its advantages and disadvantages, but it is still a great option for those looking for privacy and an easy way to conduct the process.
Advantages:
- Confidentiality: You don’t have to share your data or your friends’ data on sites you don’t know. Everything is between you and the AI.
- Personalization: You can enable certain rules, such as preventing couples from giving each other gifts, which traditional apps don’t always allow.
Flaws:
- The person in charge knows the results: Someone has to enter the clues, get the pairings, and pass them on. This eliminates the element of complete surprise, but if the person in charge is trustworthy, the secret will be safe.
- Requires some manual effort: Although the AI does most of the work, someone will have to send matches to participants.

How to Conduct a Secret Friend Prank Using AI
All you need is access to an AI chatbot such as ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. Here we explain how to do it step by step:
Step 1: Create a list of participants. Write down the names of all participants. If there are restrictions (for example, couples don’t give each other gifts), write them down too.
Step 2: write “hint”. This is the command or instruction you give to the AI to organize the prank. Here’s an example you can customize:
“I want to organize a “Secret Friend” raffle. Participants: Karina, Luis, Mario, Raul, Daniela, Mauricio and Koni. Karina and Louis cannot give each other gifts. Keeping these exceptions in mind, organize a “Secret Friend” giveaway.
Step 3: let AI work its magic. Artificial intelligence will generate pairs in accordance with the rules you specify. Just check the results to make sure everything is ok.
Step 4: report the results. This is where your discretion comes into play. Send names to each participant via email, WhatsApp or any other method you prefer while maintaining confidentiality.
Tips for the perfect gift
- Be clear with exceptions: The more specific the hint, the better the result.
- Use proven artificial intelligence tools: ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot are popular and secure options for this task.
- Check the command before sending it: If this is your first time using these tools, do a quick test to make sure the results are what you expect.
Organize the easiest secret friend in your life
Thanks to artificial intelligence, organizing your secret friend is faster and more flexible than ever. You no longer have to worry about external applications or services; Now you can do this from the comfort of your mobile phone or computer.
