How it works

Built for the AI age.

As AI generates content at unlimited scale, verified human identity becomes the most important signal on the internet. Opine is the trust and identity layer — here is how it works.

1

The reading experience

Read with precision.

Click any sentence

Every sentence in an opine is interactive. Click to open a dedicated thread — see who has responded and join the conversation at the exact point that matters.

Comment on paragraphs

Hover over the break between paragraphs to comment on the broader argument. Sentence-level for precision, paragraph-level for broader observations.

Follow OpineLines

When verified writers respond to each other, their exchanges are automatically grouped into a live, chronological OpineLine — appointment-viewing discourse.

2

The publishing experience

Publish on the record.

Write and format

A clean editor with markdown support — bold, italic, headings, links. Write your opine, attach documents, add footnotes and invite co-authors.

Choose your voice

Publish under a category, your own column, or a brand profile. Multiple authors can publish under one unified brand identity.

Fingerprinted instantly

The moment you publish, your opine receives a SHA-256 cryptographic hash. An immutable record from the first word to the last.

3

The verification layer

Identity you can trust.

HPP Verified

For public figures — politicians, executives, athletes, academics. Manual review by the Opine team. Unlocks statement mode, press contact page and quote card generator.

🏢

Organisation

For businesses, law firms, media outlets and consultancies. Unlocks brand voice profiles, multi-author publishing and client-facing opines.

Press Verified

For working journalists and media professionals. Signals editorial credibility and unlocks press-specific features across the platform.

4

After publishing

The discourse layer.

🔒

Private replies

Set your opine to private reply mode. Readers submit structured feedback directly to you — name, affiliation, subject, message. Never published.

Response opines

Verified writers can publish a formal response opine linked to yours. The exchange is visible on both opines and grouped into an OpineLine.

📎

Cite and share

Every opine comes with APA, Harvard, MLA and journalistic citation formats built in. One click to copy. Built for academics and journalists.
