The problem

Online reviews are increasingly manipulated and untrustworthy.

The solution

Paste Amazon, restaurant, or SaaS reviews and AI estimates authenticity at a glance.

Feature ideas

  1. 1
    Suspicion scoring
    Detects repetitive patterns and unnatural language.
  2. 2
    Real-user highlights
    Surfaces the most believable reviews first.
  3. 3
    Seller history analysis
    Tracks sudden rating spikes over time.

First-week milestone

A web page where someone pastes 20 reviews and gets a per-review trust score plus a one-line explanation.

Distribution playbook

  • Reddit threads in r/AmazonReviews, r/BuyItForLife, r/Frugal — show before/after on viral fake-review posts.
  • TikTok carousel: 'Top 5 fake reviews this tool caught on Amazon last week.'
  • Free paste-and-score wedge; paid tier for bulk pasted reviews and saved sellers.

Guardrails & risks

  • Frame scores as 'signal', never a verdict — a wrong call on a real seller is a legal headache.
  • Don't scrape Amazon directly; let users paste reviews or use their official API where it exists.
  • Show the reasoning behind every score so users can override and trust the tool.

Validation signal

Watch repeat-paste rate in week one — if users come back to check a second product, the wedge works.

Trust Factor

People desperately want reliable opinions online.
