Overview
How might we design review summary so people can trust and act on AI output?
When to use
- Perfect for e-commerce platforms, product review sites, and marketplaces where summarizing large volumes of reviews helps users make faster purchase decisions.
When to skip
- Too few reviews to summarize without hallucinating themes.
- Reviews are mostly spam or duplicate bots.
- Regulated claims where AI paraphrase could misstate safety.
Rules
Summary with no link to source reviews or quotes.
Cherry-picked praise that hides common complaints.
Updating summary without showing as-of date.
Invented users say with no citation anchors.
