The Mission

As part of a digital experience agency, we’re encouraged to explore new ways to blend creativity with technology. That curiosity led to the creation of the JingleBot AI Holiday Card Generator, a fun, interactive tool that invites people to design their own holiday cards. Users choose from four categories: holiday theme, animal, character, and art style. Each unique combination produces a one-of-a-kind card, complete with a custom image and poem inspired by their selections.

The Hook

The real magic behind JingleBot comes from learning how to mix AI and machine learning together. Working with highly skilled developers, we tapped into OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 to write the poems and turned to MidJourney for image creation. A big part of the process was figuring out the right way to “talk” to these models — a practice known as prompt engineering. Along the way, we noticed that when it came to minority holidays, the models sometimes struggled to generate accurate or representative images. To fix that, developers added reference images directly into the code to help guide AI toward the kind of visuals and tone that was appropriate for everyone. It’s a small but important detail that really sets JingleBot apart from off-the-shelf tools.

The Finish Line

Our intention was to design an experience that felt simple, playful, and easy to engage with — something as intuitive and fun as taking a BuzzFeed quiz. We kept JingleBot’s structure straightforward, while bringing each question and category to life through imaginative illustrations and thoughtful design details. To build a distinct visual identity for the platform, I created the illustrations and animations for the icons representing each selection category, as well as the overall interface. JingleBot is an exploration of how AI can bring a personal, imaginative touch to a familiar tradition.
