Product Reality Check (Bansumi)

Description

Verifies whether Amazon products live up to their marketing promises by analyzing real customer reviews. Extracts 8-12 testable claims from the product listing, scrapes reviews across all star ratings, and generates an 8-section reality check report with promise fulfillment scores, review pattern analysis, and a final recommendation. Supports all Amazon marketplaces (.com, .de, .co.uk, .fr, etc.).

Core Capabilities

• Promise fulfillment scoring using 6-level scale (from "Yes" to "Problematic")
• Polarization detection for "love it or hate it" products
• User profile identification: who loves the product vs. who struggles with it
• Verified purchase tracking and review pattern analysis

Good Query Examples

• "Reality check this hair dryer: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CXXXXXXX"
• "Do the reviews match the marketing claims? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XXXXXXX"
• "Ist dieses Produkt wirklich so gut wie beworben? https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0DXXXXXXX" (German query → German report)

Bad Query Examples

• "Check this product: amzn.to/3xYz123" — shortened URLs are not supported. Fix: provide the full Amazon URL containing /dp/ or /gp/product/
• "Compare these two blenders and tell me which is better: [URL1] [URL2]" — agent analyzes one product at a time. Fix: run separate checks for each product
• "Is this kitchen gadget safe for children?" — the agent checks review sentiment against marketing claims, not factual safety or material composition

Use-Case Ideas

• Pre-purchase due diligence before buying expensive products
• Identifying products with misleading marketing or inflated ratings
• Sourcing quality assessment for e-commerce sellers evaluating suppliers
• Consumer protection research on polarizing or heavily-marketed products

Limitations

• Amazon products only — no other e-commerce platforms
• Requires full Amazon URL (shortened links like amzn.to/amzn.eu are rejected)
• Single product per analysis (no head-to-head comparisons)
• Cannot verify factual claims (e.g., material composition, certifications)
• Products with fewer than 10 reviews produce preliminary findings only
• Processing takes 60-180 seconds depending on review volume

Input/Output Spec

• Input: Full Amazon product URL (required), max_reviews 50-200 (optional, default: 100)
• Output: 8-section markdown report — product overview, executive summary, marketing promises, fulfillment table, review summary, review analysis with quotes, promise vs. reality comparison, and final recommendation with fulfillment percentage
