I’ve been a fan of the team behind Looria for over a year. They have shipped some really fun experiments like BuyForLife, Reviewr, and Baqpa but they’ve outdone themselves this time by pulling in everything they learned on those products and creating a stellar product search engine based on real-world product reviews. Give it a try!
Hey Product Hunt 👋
The idea of helping people to make better purchasing decisions has chased me for a long time. Finding and researching good products can be very time-consuming and frustrating. Every time I wanted to buy a product, I wasted hours reading reviews and researching its pros and cons.
Here are some stats that illustrate how important online reviews are:
• 90% check online reviews as part of their online buying journey
• 43% visit 5-10 websites to research a product
• 75% spend more than a day doing research before buying a product
The top frustrations with the current process are:
• Google is full of SEO spam and Ads
• Fake reviews
• Fragmented trusted sources
• Inconsistent information across sources
Thanks to the recent advances in NLP (transformers, GPT-3, etc.) it became possible to solve these problems at scale, so I decided to team up with my co-founders Johnny and Tavis to build Looria.
We aggregate and summarize the most trusted product reviews on the web to give you a holistic view of the Internet's opinion about a product. Just like Rotten Tomatoes provides trustworthy ratings for movies, Looria offers ratings and reviews for all kinds of products. Our vision is to make Looria the go-to platform for making purchase decisions.
Looria is still in beta and our data is far from perfect. We're working hard on improving the data quality, adding better filters, and scaling to many more categories.
We'd love to hear what you think about Looria, product research, and how to fix it.
I like how Looria summarizes reviews on a product page. When I'm searching for new, say, headphones, I feel the urge to read all possible reviews on all possible websites. Looria's product page solves this for me. Well done!
With the help of AI, you have taken trust-matrix to another level. Also, the automation seems to be at its best. You're solving a universal problem so chances are that you're gonna fly very high. Don't worry about people attention at ph. Keep doing the good work. Congratulations on the launch! Just a quick question, if looria is collecting reviews from other sources, what would be the trustworthiness of results if those reviews are fake?
