Highlight key feedback with an AI review summary

After importing your Ryviu reviews into WiserReview, you can enable the AI Review Summary to make large volumes of customer feedback easy to understand.

Instead of requiring shoppers to read every individual review, the AI analyzes all reviews and highlights recurring themes, product benefits, and commonly mentioned experiences.

To set it up, go to Widgets → Product Review Section → Configure → AI Summary in your WiserReview dashboard.

You can enable AI Summary for an overall review overview and AI Topics to categorize feedback into key themes like product quality, sizing, durability, shipping, or customer service.

This feature helps shoppers quickly grasp the strengths and weaknesses of a product, improving their confidence when making a purchase.

As new reviews are collected through automated workflows, the AI summary updates in real-time, ensuring that your review section always stays relevant and easy to scan.

Automate new review collection

After migrating your Ryviu reviews, you can set up automated workflows in WiserReview to continuously collect new customer feedback without manual effort.

These workflows ensure your review section stays active and up-to-date, helping build ongoing social proof.

Start by navigating to the Automate section in your WiserReview dashboard. Here, you can create a workflow that triggers review requests after specific events, such as customer name and product name.

This ensures that customers receive review requests at the optimal time, when they’ve used the product and are most likely to leave thoughtful feedback.

You can choose from multiple review request channels, including email, SMS, WhatsApp, or custom webhook triggers.

WiserReview also lets you set up reminder messages for customers who don’t respond initially, boosting response rates without additional manual work.

Finally, configure the timing and messaging for each workflow to match your brand voice.

Once activated, the system automatically sends review requests, collects responses, and updates your product pages and widgets. This keeps your review library growing and maintains consistent social proof, which helps increase customer trust and conversions over time.
