Redtry is an AI-powered assistant that turns product research into a conversation.</p> <p>What it does:</p> <ul> <li>Summarizes real reviews from Reddit, YouTube, and ecommerce platforms</li> <li>Helps users decide what to buy based on real intent (not just keywords)</li> <li>Tracks price drops and filters the noise</li> <li>No real sign-up — just type anything to get started</li> </ul> <p>The idea is to reduce decision fatigue, especially for people buying high-value products like laptops, skincare, or gifts.</p> <p>Still early, but I’d love feedback from anyone who tries it:</p> <ul> <li>Would you trust this over traditional review sites?</li> <li>What would make this genuinely useful or even habit-forming?</li> <li>Are there specific features you’d want added?</li> </ul> <p>Happy to answer any questions or share how I built it. Appreciate any thoughts!</p> webdev ai buildinpublic
