It’s not that people aren’t interested; it’s just that when buying for the first time, it’s inevitable to hesitate: they still don’t know how good the results will be, nor how many times they will be able to use it. To try a new tool, buying an entire package first seems a bit not worth it. After the free quota is used up, they want to continue exploring, but then feel, “Maybe I should wait.”
Many people’s AI experience ends up stopping at “I’ll try it when I have time.”
If someone around you happens to want to use AI to write articles, create images, generate music, or try video creation, you can directly give them an Ace Gift Card. What the card contains is not a fixed piece of software, nor a specific product, but platform Credits that can be used on Ace Data Cloud.
Simply put, you prepare a quota for them to experience AI. After receiving the card, logging in to their account, and claiming it, they can choose the tools they want to try themselves.
¶ Sometimes, what people lack is simply an experience that someone else pays for
You may have also met friends like this.
They often see others using AI to generate images and find it interesting; when they see music and videos made by AI, they also want to try it themselves. But when they reach the payment page, they say, “I’ll use the free version first,” “I don’t need that much for now,” or “I’ll buy it later when I really need it.”
This is very normal.
When first encountering a new tool, most people are not sure whether they will use it in the long term. If they buy too little of a package, they worry it will not be enough; if they buy too much, they worry about wasting it. Especially for image, music, and video generation, it often takes several tries to get a feel for it. The free trial may not be enough, while paying directly can easily make people hesitate.
Ace Gift Card solves exactly this small problem.
The giver can choose a portion of Credits from eligible account balances, select a card style, write a message, and then send the claim link to the recipient. After creating the card, the gifted amount will be deducted from the corresponding eligible balance; once the recipient logs in, they can claim the Credits inside.
The entire process is similar to giving an electronic gift card, except that what the other person receives is not shopping money, but a platform quota that can be used to experience AI services.
¶ When teachers give them to students, it is more practical than saying “try more new tools”
Teachers often encourage students to engage with new technologies, but when students actually start using them, they quickly encounter payment issues.
For example, design students may want to try AI image generation, journalism or Chinese-language students may want to experience assisted writing, film and television students may want to generate storyboards and videos, while computer science students may hope to call APIs to build a small project.
If tools are only introduced in class, students may not continue trying them afterward. If teachers use Ace Gift Card as a classroom reward, support for course assignments, or a competition prize, students can start practicing directly after claiming it.
It is well suited for course completion, creative assignments, campus competitions, club activities, or small hackathons. Teachers do not need to specify what students must generate; everyone can choose how to use it based on their major and interests.
Some students may use it to make a poster, some may generate a piece of background music, and others may use it to complete their first AI application prototype.
Compared with simply telling students that “AI is important,” letting them make something with their own hands once is often more direct and effective.
¶ When bosses give them to employees, they can become a lightweight innovation reward
When companies want to encourage employees to use AI, a common approach is to arrange training.
But after the training ends, employees often still do not know where to start. Some worry that it is too complicated to use, some do not want to link their own payment method, and some simply feel too busy at work to make a separate purchase just to try something new.
At this time, bosses or team leaders can use Ace Gift Card as a lightweight reward.
For example, a company may hold an internal creativity week and let everyone try using AI to improve workflows; the marketing team may need to experience copywriting and image generation; the product team may want to quickly create concept images; the video team may want to try new soundtrack and shot ideas. Gift Cards can serve as event quotas, or be given to employees who come up with good ideas.
This kind of reward has a little more sense of participation than ordinary gifts.
After receiving it, employees do not have to use it to purchase a fixed product, but can complete a small experiment related to their own work. Even if it does not ultimately become a formal project, they can at least learn what these tools can and cannot do.
For small teams, this is also a relatively cost-controllable way to experiment. Letting some people who are genuinely interested start using it first, and then deciding whether to expand its use based on the results, is much more natural than requiring everyone to purchase packages from the start.
¶ When friends give them to friends, the key is not the amount, but “I know you want to try”
When friends give gifts to each other, the hardest part is often not the budget, but not knowing what to give.
They like photography, but already have a camera; they like music, but do not lack headphones; they are always researching new tools, yet it is hard to tell exactly which software they need.
If they happen to be interested in AI, Ace Gift Card is a suitable choice.
You do not need to decide for them whether they should make images, music, or videos; you only need to give them an opportunity to try freely. Add a somewhat personalized message, and the gift will not feel like you casually sent them a top-up card.
You could write:
Haven’t you always wanted to make your own podcast intro? Don’t wait this time—go try it.
You could also write:
Giving you some room to experiment. It’s okay if it doesn’t turn out well; just start playing around.
Or something even simpler:
I’ll pay this time; you just turn the ideas in your head into something real. What you send this way is not just Credits. The other person will know that you remembered the idea they mentioned before.
¶ When parents give it to their children, it can also be encouragement to “make something”
Many children have already started using AI, but they mostly use it for chatting or searching for answers, and rarely truly treat it as a creative tool.
Parents can use a Gift Card as part of a specific little agreement. For example, let their child use AI to make a family travel poster, generate illustrations for their own story, try creating birthday music, or turn a piece of text into a short video.
The point is not to let children spend the credits without purpose, but to accompany them in completing a small creation.
In this way, AI is no longer just a tool that “helps me answer questions,” but a tool that can be used for expression and creation. Parents can also use this process to understand what their children are using, how they describe their needs, and whether the generated content is appropriate.
If the child is younger, it is recommended that parents accompany them during use and agree on the purpose and time in advance.
¶ Communities and event organizers can also use it as an experience reward
Online groups, creator communities, and technology events often need to prepare prizes.
Physical gifts require consideration of delivery, ordinary cash red packets lack event characteristics, and fixed software memberships may not be suitable for every participant. Ace Gift Card can be shared through a link, making it more suitable for AI creation challenges, work submissions, community giveaways, and trial events.
Organizers can give it to the creators of outstanding works, or use it as a trial reward for new users.
However, if batch gifting, validity periods, or event rules are involved, it is best to first check the current conditions displayed on the creation page, confirm the source of the credits and usage restrictions, and then publish the event description.
¶ Creating and claiming are both not complicated
When using it, you can first go to the application management page in the Ace Data Cloud console to check which current balances meet the gifting requirements.
After confirming the available balance, select the Credits you plan to give away, set the card style, and write a message. Some pages also provide a card preview, making it convenient to check the final result before generating the link.
After confirming everything is correct, generate the claim link and send it to the recipient through a private message.
After opening the link, the other person needs to log in to their own account and then claim it according to the page instructions. Once the Credits have been credited, they can try the corresponding services based on their own interests.
¶ There are a few details that are best clarified before giving it away
What is given in the Gift Card is Ace Data Cloud platform Credits, not cash, nor account balance that can be withdrawn.
It is also not the $ACE token or any other cryptocurrency. Before giving it away, it is best to tell the other person directly: “This is a credit for trying Ace Data Cloud services.” This is more accurate and will not make people mistakenly think they have received a cash red packet or investment product.
The claim link should also be kept safe.
Try to send it through private messages and confirm the recipient before sending it. Do not post the actual claim link in public group chats, social media feeds, forums, or article screenshots. Like a gift redemption code, it represents a digital entitlement with usage value.
¶ Give someone who hesitates to buy it a chance to try with confidence
Many people are not opposed to AI, nor are they without ideas.
They are simply still unsure whether these tools are worth buying and worry that they may pay for them but have no use for them. So they keep watching others generate images, make music, and edit videos, while they themselves have yet to begin.
What Ace Gift Card does is very simple: you buy this attempt for the other person first.
Teachers can give it to students, so that new tools in the classroom can truly be used; bosses can give it to employees, encouraging a small-scale work innovation; friends can treat it as a gift that understands the other person's interests; parents can also accompany their children in completing a goal-oriented AI creation.
It does not need to be explained in a very complicated way.
You only need to say to that person who has always wanted to try it but hesitates to buy it:
Take it and use it first—this time, it’s from me.
To create an Ace Gift Card, you can go to the Ace Data Cloud Console Application Management page to check the currently eligible balances and the applicable rules displayed on the page.
