Rviewo replaces the star-rating form with a short conversation. Customers tell Quilly, our AI assistant, what actually happened during their visit and choose whether it goes public or privately to the owner. Neutral and negative feedback, the kind people rarely post, finally reaches the business. Rviewers earn rewards for detailed, location-verified visits. Owners get every conversation in one dashboard with sentiment, trending topics, and a free audit of their existing Google reviews.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Aidan, founder of Rviewo.
I built this after watching small business owners make decisions with almost no real information. A 4.3 star average tells you nothing about why the Tuesday lunch crowd stopped coming back. Most people who had a mediocre experience just never say anything, because leaving a public 3-star review feels like a bigger deal than it's worth.
So Rviewo does two things. For customers, feedback is a 1 minute chat with Quilly instead of a form, and you decide if it's public or goes straight to the owner. For businesses, every one of those conversations lands in a dashboard that shows what's actually being said, what's trending, and what to fix first.
Rviewers earn rewards for detailed visits, which means any regular can become a mystery shopper for the places they already go.
There's a free reputation audit on the homepage that reads your existing Google reviews and scores them in about 30 seconds, no account needed. Try it on your own business or your favorite spot and tell me what it gets wrong. I'll be here all day answering questions.
"You earn, we learn."
Aidan, Founder

Decouple the reward from the owner manual approval right away. Plus if the diner thinks thier perk depends on how "polite" they sound in the chat, they will filter the real complaints. And it defeats the whole point of the conversation )

@konstantin_tikhaev great feedback, the owners don't approve specific reviews as they come in, we validate and vet the quality of responses to ensure they aren't paying for fake reviews and to keep the diners honest. Rviewo was built to be the buffer and advocate of our diners and reviewers so that this very practice wouldn't happen. I'm always looking for new ways to improve on this concept so I'll definitely take this advice to heart. Thanks for helping to shape the product at this early stage!

@konstantin_tikhaev what's one thing as a consumer that you'd like to see that would ensure your feedback remains unbiased? For example, we offer more XP and offer exclusive rewards the more you improve your personal honesty/quality score regardless of positive or negative sentiment.

@aidan_post Need clear guarantee before submision that reward depends purely on visit proof and detail not sentiment. Show real examples where 'angry' harsh reviews get fully paid )
