We put a repair expert in your pocket.
And the $300 repairman out of a job.
Free · no card · founding price that sticks · Jin says when he is not sure, and refuses the dangerous stuff (gas, refrigerant, high-voltage)
SokoJin started with a broken dryer, a $340 service quote, and a YouTube video that didn't match the model in our garage. The actual problem? A $14 thermal fuse. Fifteen minutes of work, once I knew. That gap, between "I have no idea what's wrong" and "oh, that's all it was," is a tax millions of people quietly pay every year. We're here to delete it.
The math is the whole pitch.
A service call has a minimum, usually $150 to $400 just for someone to show up in your driveway. The part that's actually broken is almost always cheap: a $15 fuse, a $20 fan, a clogged filter that costs nothing. The expensive part was never the part. It was not knowing which one.
Knowing is the thing we're productizing. Snap a photo and Jin tells you what's wrong, whether it's worth fixing yourself, and the exact cheap part that fixes it. Most of the time that's the difference between a Saturday afternoon and a four-figure year of "ugh, just call someone." Over a handful of repairs, that's not coffee money. It's boat-loads.

Built so my mom would actually use it.
The bar here isn't "impressive to engineers." It's "my mom, who has never taken anything apart, fixes her own dishwasher and feels like a genius." Every choice serves the nervous first-timer: plain language, one photo, Jin waiting patiently while you go find a screwdriver. If it doesn't help a beginner finish a real repair, it doesn't ship.
Why "Jin"?
Because "AI assistant" is dead on arrival. Jin's a character: patient, a little dry, and, crucially, willing to say "I'd grab a second opinion on this one." A confident-but-wrong repair bot is dangerous. An honest one is a friend. Jin also flat-out refuses gas, refrigerant, and high-voltage jobs and sends you to a licensed pro, because some things shouldn't be DIY and pretending otherwise is how people get hurt.
Who's building it
I'm Henry Moseti, founder. The guy in the family group chat who gets every photo of a broken thing with three question marks. Not because I'm trained, but because I'm stubborn enough to take things apart, patient enough to figure out what went wrong, and I've accidentally saved friends a lot of money over the years. SokoJin is me making that un-accidental, for everyone who doesn't happen to have a Henry in their group chat.
It started as a favor to my family. It's becoming something bigger: the fastest, friendliest way for anyone to fix anything. I'm building it in public, because the only way an AI repair assistant gets genuinely good, and genuinely trustworthy, is by being wrong in front of real people and learning from it. Every Worked / Still-stuck / Wrong-part rating from real users is already training the next, sharper version. The generic model we rent never learns whether a fix actually worked. We do, on every attempt. That labeled-outcome loop is the company.
Why a website with affiliate links?
Two reasons, and I'll be direct about both:
- The guides are the product's free companion. If a free guide saves you $300 today, you'll trust Jin in the app tomorrow. They are also how people find us: owned guides that rank for the exact moment something breaks. So we write the clearest, most honest repair guides we can, with real parts lists.
- Amazon affiliate revenue funds the build. When a guide links the $15 fuse and you buy it, we earn a few cents, which pays the API bills that keep Jin running while we're pre-revenue. You never pay a penny more, and the savings are still all yours. Full disclosure →
Where this is going
Live now: a free iOS alpha in the hands of our founding testers, getting Jin great at the everyday appliance fixes that cost people the most. Next: more device categories, more guides, and, for the people who want it, a fast lane to a vetted human pro for the jobs Jin won't touch. The mission underneath all of it is simple and a little audacious: turn "I have no idea what's wrong" into "oh, that's all it was" for everyone, everywhere. Bytes to atoms.
If that's a thing you want to exist, the single most useful move today is to download the alpha and fix your next broken thing.
