+Chrome Extension Idea: Amazon Review Summarizer – Anders Amlie
+
+Problem Statement
+
+Since online goods are inherently harder to judge than when in-person shopping, reviews from actual people who bought the product are extremely important. Still, Amazon places these reviews at the absolute bottom of their long, clunky product pages. These reviews are both hard to navigate to and digest: they’re long, un-proofread pieces of text – this extension solves both by offering a cohesive pros and cons summary of a product in the click of a button.
+
+Target Audience
+
+Online shoppers
+
+
+People doing quick product comparisons
+
+
+Mobile-first or accessibility-focused users
+
+
+Tech-savvy consumers looking for faster decision-making
+
+
+Description
+When on an Amazon product page, the extension scrapes the page of reviews, sends the text to GPT, and returns a clean, easy-to-read summary highlighting the most common pros and cons of the product. Results are shown in a popup or sidebar UI, triggered by clicking the extension icon.
+Selling Points
+AI-powered Summarization – Fast, GPT-generated review summaries using actual customer feedback
+
+
+Saves Time – No need to scroll through dozens of reviews – get the highlights instantly
+
+
+Better Decision-Making – Balanced view of product strengths and weaknesses
+
+
+Seamless Integration – Works directly on Amazon pages with one click
+
+
+Lightweight & Private – No account needed, no tracking, just helpful summaries
+
+
+User Stories
+
+As an online shopper, I want to summarize Amazon reviews with one click so that I can make quick and informed buying decisions.
+
+
+As a user, I want to view a clean summary instead of scrolling through long reviews so that I can browse more efficiently on my laptop.
+
+
+As a tech-savvy consumer, I want to see common pros and cons so that I understand both strengths and weaknesses of a product.
+
+
+As an accessibility-focused user, I want to get key product info summarized so that I don’t need to struggle with reading low-quality reviews.
+
+
+As a frequent Amazon shopper, I want to compare summaries across products quickly so that I can pick the best option without reading hundreds of comments.
+
+
+As a budget-conscious shopper, I want to see if negative reviews mention quality or durability issues so that I avoid wasting money on poorly made products.
+
+
+As a first-time buyer, I want to quickly get the overall sentiment from verified buyers so that I feel more confident making a purchase decision.
+
+
+As a comparison shopper, I want to use the extension on multiple product tabs so that I can evaluate summaries side-by-side.
+
+
+As a non-native English speaker, I want to read simplified summaries of reviews so that I don’t have to decipher long or complex review text.
+
+
+As a time-strapped user, I want to get pros and cons without logging into anything so that I can make fast decisions with minimal effort.
+Notes
+Challenge: Avoid being blocked by rate-limiting if scraping too many reviews
+
+
+Consideration: Could be extended to other review-heavy platforms like Yelp, eBay, or BestBuy later on
+
+
+UI Ideas: Use a minimal sidebar, tooltip, or bottom card for the summary output. Match Amazon’s color scheme for seamless UX
