Hey! 👋 I'm Shanmathi from Chennai. As an Instagram seller myself I understand the challenges both sellers and buyers face. I started Hopinio to create a safe space where genuine sellers can build trust and buyers can shop with confidence. Think of it as your friendly neighborhood watchdog inspired by how Google Reviews and Trustpilot protect online shoppers. Just to be clear - this is an independent tool not affiliated with Instagram ™ or Meta.

A Project From the Heart

This isn't a business venture - it's my way of helping create a safer shopping environment for everyone. Think of Hopinio like Wikipedia for Online shopping: community-driven non-profit and focused purely on public good. I created it because I was tired of seeing how fake sellers hurt both customers and legitimate businesses like mine. No profit motives - just a seller trying to make social shopping safer for everyone.

Why Instagram First?

Instagram shopping is booming, but so are the scams. While I plan to expand to other social platforms soon, I'm focusing on Instagram first because that's where most people need help right now. The goal? To make sure you never lose money to fake sellers again.

Simple & Smart Protection

Hopinio combines real human experiences with smart AI verification. Here's how it works: People share their shopping experiences, and our AI agent goes the extra mile to verify both the reviews and the sellers. It checks multiple factors to ensure the reviews are genuine and the sellers are legitimate. No fake reviews slip through - our AI works 24/7 to keep the platform trustworthy!

Keeping It Real

Right now, I'm covering all costs myself because I believe in this mission. While I might add some minimal ads in the future to keep the servers running, this project will never be about making money. Your safety is what matters most!
