| There’s nothing more frustrating than returning home with your latest gadget only to discover a newer version was released the week before. In the consumer electronics world where new products are introduced at a blinding pace, this scenario is all too common. |
|
|
|
|
| Retrevo has a brand new feature to help consumers avoid this problem. Retrevo’s “real-time,” reviews include a graph representing a product’s lifecycle. The lifecycle indicates whether a product is a hot new gadget, “over the hill,” or somewhere in between. Retrevo can tell you if a product is receiving a lot of “buzz,” or if it’s going to be obsolete soon. Retrevo’s AI-based technology analyzes millions of data points including level of review activity, pricing, demand, and the age of a product to place the product on the lifecycle chart. |
|
|
| In addition to lifecycle analysis, Retrevo’s new kind of product review indicates overall sentiment from expert and user reviews, overall value, key features, and more. Other review sites rely on humans to track and evaluate products. Retrevo watches activity, pricing, and other data on a daily basis and adjusts the “real-time,” review as needed. Only a sophisticated AI-based analysis system can handle this amount of data for the enormous amount of electronics products on the market. Humans could never come close to evaluating these many products on a daily basis. |
|
|
|
|
| To make it even simpler to tell if a product is a good buy or not, Retrevo reduces all these data points down to a single recommendation along with a qualifier for a type of purchase or buyer i.e “buy with caution,” or “look elsewhere.” |
|
|
|
|
| Try it yourself! Pick a category like Digital Cameras, HDTV, or Laptops and browse to a product you’re interested in or search for a product and check out the lifecycle analysis on Retrevo’s Real-Time Review. |
