Post Description
After Fakespot was acquired by Mozilla and then shut down, I wanted a simple tool to check if Amazon product reviews are genuine. So I built FakeScan.
Paste any Amazon product URL → AI analyzes the reviews for suspicious patterns (review clustering, generic language, incentivized reviews, timing anomalies) → gives you a trust score 0-100 with specific red flags.
Tech stack: Next.js, Groq API (Llama 3.3 70B for analysis). No login, no data collection, completely free.
Would appreciate any feedback on the detection algorithm or UX.

We built an AI tool directory where you can't fake a review
Short, 15-second recorded takes plus an AI verification step is a smart twist on noisy written reviews — it's compact, snackable content that could surface honest signals. The landing page nails the messaging and onboarding hook (Google sign-in, one-button record), but it leaves key questions unanswered: how reliable is the 'AI evaluates' authenticity check, and who funds the payouts?
