Hey HN! Finding and researching good products can be very time-consuming and frustrating. Every time I want to buy a product, I waste hours reading reviews and researching the quality, durability and maintainability of it. Wouldn't it be great to have a service that does all this for me? That's why I built the AI-Reviewer. The AI-Reviewer summarizes product reviews from all over the web into simple bullet-point lists. #How does it work? 1. Scraping reviews from trusted sources on the web 2. Running it through a fake detection 3. Doing a sentiment analysis 4. The AI-Reviewer generates a brief and concise summary of all the reviews by using GPT-3 #What sources do I use? I asked users where they look for product reviews and focused on the most trusted sources. Besides the reviews of buyforlife, the sources are: Reddit, Wirecutter, Amazon, GearLab and some other. #How do I prevent fake reviews? This is a question that always comes up. There is no satisfactory solution to this problem, but I'm trying my best. A few things I'm doing: - Running Amazon reviews through fakespot.com - Diversifying sources and cross checking them - Adding weight to reviews from trustworthy sources like Reddit and buyforlife. #What's next? I plan to continuously increase the number of products with an AI-Review. In addition, I can think of a few more use-cases: - Summarizing warranty terms and conditions of brands into simple bullet-point lists - Summarizing maintenance and care instructions - Shopify App & Google Chrome Extension - Ability to compare products Read the full blog post here: https://www.buyforlife.com/blog/548RijnkRdPwn1cAI5RDjw/make-better-and-faster-purchasing-decisions-with-ai https://www.buyforlife.com/blog/548RijnkRdPwn1cAI5RDjw/make-...
