## The Problem
Millions of Africans lose money to scams and overpay online. Comparing Jumia, Konga, and Facebook takes hours and you still can't tell if a seller is legit. "Pay first, get blocked" is too common.
## Our Solution: AGO
AGO is an AI agent that protects your money and time.
### Key Features
1. **Price Comparison** - Check Jumia, Konga, Facebook in 5 seconds
2. **AI Scam Detection** - Gemini analyzes seller profiles and flags suspicious deals: "Omo this price too cheap o, e fit be scam"
3. **Escrow Payments** - Your money is held safely by AGO until you confirm you received the item. No more "pay and pray".
4. **Pidgin + English** - Everyone can understand and use it
## How Escrow Works
1. You pay → Money goes to AGO Escrow, not seller
2. Seller sends item → Because they know money is waiting
3. You confirm receipt → AGO releases money to seller
4. If no delivery → You get full refund
