That's the question I've been sitting with after noticing something strange: people actually do trust AI recommendations, but they're desperate for a way to verify those recommendations before buying.
It hit me when I watched someone ask ChatGPT for a product recommendation, then immediately open three browser tabs to check the specs, return policy, and reviews on their own. The AI gave them a starting point, but not confidence.
So I'm thinking about building a simple verification layer. One-click checks that surface the red flags: specs that don't match the listing, return windows that are about to close, reviews that sound suspiciously similar. Things that would make you reconsider.
The idea isn't to replace AI recommendations—it's to make them trustworthy. Give people a reason to actually act on what the AI suggests instead of getting skeptical and doing their own research anyway.
Is there a real product here, or just my own confirmation bias? That's the part I'm still working through. Has anyone else noticed this gap between AI recommendation and user action?
