Rikey
Rikey is an AI-powered shopping companion that understands both the product and you. Instead of reading hundreds of reviews, you chat naturally about what you're considering. Rikey aggregates reviews from major platforms (TrustPilot, Yelp, Google, Amazon) and answers your specific questions by analyzing thousands of reviews instantly – personalized to your needs.
The Challenge
Every day, millions of people waste hours scrolling through endless reviews on TrustPilot, Yelp, Amazon, and Google Reviews, trying to figure out which opinions actually apply to them. A 4.2-star rating tells you nothing – what matters is why people rated it that way, and whether those reasons matter to you.
Technology
Express.js backend handling business logic and review analysis, React with TypeScript frontend, RESTful APIs, Chrome extension for seamless integration with e-commerce and review sites.
What this project taught me
How to balance depth with delivery, when to build vs buy, and why documentation is as important as code. I'd love to apply the same rigor to your challenges.
