Problem
Consumers struggle to find trustworthy product recommendations, often wading through fake reviews and sponsored content, while their purchase histories remain siloed in email accounts and are not easily shareable with friends.
Solution
VivoSocial provides a privacy‑first messenger that transforms verified purchase receipts into a private social feed. Users securely sync receipts from email providers such as Gmail, Apple, Hotmail, and Yahoo, creating an encrypted view of their buying history that only they control. Within the chat interface, friends can ask product questions, share their own purchases, and discuss experiences in real time, enabling authentic word‑of‑mouth recommendations. The platform rewards users with discounts for contributing verified purchases, while giving them granular control over who sees each receipt and the ability to delete data at any time.
