I’m Bruno.

I’m Bruno, the creator of Sentelvo and a third-year Electrical Engineering student.

I created Sentelvo because, in recent years, with the growth of AI, online scams have become increasingly frequent and sophisticated. About a year and a half ago, my grandfather fell victim to a scam through a phishing website (a fake page designed to deceive its visitors). That experience made me think about how I could help other people and their families recognise similar situations.

That is how I started developing Sentelvo: an extension that helps identify suspicious pages and messages and lets you ask someone you trust for a second opinion. The idea is simple: give the person a clear warning and their family a way to help, even from a distance.

Anyone can be deceived, regardless of their age or experience with the internet. Sentelvo serves as protection for the people we care about most, as well as for ourselves.

In closed beta

Sentelvo is currently in a closed beta. I’m improving the product with a small group of users to understand what works well and what needs to be refined.
