Shopi Agent
Buy and sell through conversation.
Shopi Agent is the free AI assistant built into Shopi. Upload a photo and it writes your listing — title, description and specs. Describe what you want and it finds nearby matches. No forms, no filters, no commission.
For sellers: a photo becomes a listing
The reason most people never list what they could sell is the form. Shopi Agent removes it.
- 1
Take one photo
Point your phone at what you're selling and upload it. No lightbox, no product shoot — the photo you'd send a friend is enough.
- 2
Shopi Agent writes the listing
It reads the photo and drafts the title, the description and the specifications — make, model, size, condition and category, depending on what it can identify.
- 3
You check it and publish
Everything stays editable. Fix the price, correct a detail, add what the photo can't show. Nothing is published until you confirm it.
For buyers: describe it instead of filtering for it
Search works when you already know the exact words. Shopi Agent is for the times you don't.
- 1
Say what you're after
"A used fridge in Nakuru under 30,000." Plain language, the way you'd ask a person — not a category tree and six filter dropdowns.
- 2
Shopi Agent finds the matches
It reads the intent behind the request — the item, the budget, the place — and surfaces nearby listings that fit, rather than only what matches your exact words.
- 3
You message the seller
When something looks right, open the chat and deal directly. Shopi Agent hands off at that point — it does not negotiate or buy on your behalf.
What Shopi Agent does not do
- It does not message sellers or buyers on your behalf. Every conversation is between the two people in the deal.
- It does not negotiate prices or agree terms for you.
- It does not take payment. Shopi has no checkout, cart or escrow and never holds money.
- It does not publish anything you have not reviewed and confirmed.
Shopi Agent questions
What is Shopi Agent?
Shopi Agent is the AI assistant built into Shopi. For sellers it turns a photo into a complete listing — title, description and specifications. For buyers it finds nearby listings from a plain-language description instead of search filters.
Does Shopi Agent cost anything?
No. Shopi Agent is free for both buyers and sellers. It is not a paid add-on, a subscription or a premium tier — it is part of Shopi, which is free to browse and free to post on.
Will Shopi Agent post something without me seeing it?
No. Shopi Agent drafts the listing and you review it. Every field stays editable and nothing is published until you confirm it.
Does Shopi Agent talk to buyers or sellers for me?
No. Shopi Agent writes listings and finds products. It does not message anyone on your behalf, negotiate prices or complete purchases. Every conversation and every deal is directly between the buyer and the seller.
What if Shopi Agent gets a detail wrong?
Correct it before you publish. The draft is a starting point, not a final answer — you know the item's real condition, history and price, and those are the details buyers ask about first.
Do I need Shopi Agent to sell on Shopi?
No. You can write a listing manually with your own photos or video at any time. Shopi Agent is there to remove the typing, not to replace the manual flow.
