I just launched a new site over the holidays called SageWise Reviews: An AI product review site that I hope makes comparing and finding similar products pretty easy.
Website: https://www.sagewisereviews.com
What it is:
I use a combination of sources to generate summaries and pros/cons for various product categories, and make it easy to scan / compare across other similar products.
What’s next:
More product reviews, comparison pages, and product sorting. I'm also planning to experiment with monetization later, likely through affiliate linking, but I'll need to figure out PMF and actual traffic generation first.
If anyone has time, I’d appreciate feedback on the site; design, writing quality, clarity, anything! Also open to suggestions on product categories, it's pretty easy for me to add new ones!
Thanks!
Building is easy. Deciding what not to build is harder.
Congrats on the launch — shipping over the holidays is underrated.
The scanable pros/cons and comparison angle is genuinely helpful. One small thought: briefly explaining how the summaries are generated could help build trust early.
Curious which traffic channels you’re planning to test first as you validate PMF.
I spent some time on Sagewise and it’s very clear what the product is trying to do, which I like. Everything feels organized and thoughtful.
Hmm... after browsing a few categories though, the language starts to feel a bit uniform.
I found myself wanting more of the small trade-offs and imperfections real users usually mention, not just polished summaries.
Still a solid product overall.
I think leaning more into human nuance could make it feel even more trustworthy.
Thanks for taking a look, totally agree on that! Maybe I can find ways to bring additional "evidence" into the tool. Whether that's quotes, individual score breakouts, something needs to let you dig in just a bit further to build trust. Or have a "Curator Pick" of some kind that helps you see a person was at least partially involved. Maybe linking out to other more detailed hands-on reviews could be a way, too.
Thanks again!
Congrats on the launch! AI-powered review aggregation is a smart angle - the value is in making comparison decisions faster, not just collecting data.
A few thoughts on the affiliate monetization path: the reviews that convert best aren't the ones with the most pros/cons listed - they're the ones that help someone understand which tradeoffs matter for their specific situation. "Best for X use case" filters or decision trees could be a differentiator over generic review sites.
For category expansion, I'd look at where people currently waste the most time comparing (SaaS tools, productivity software, creator tools). Those searches have high intent and the existing review landscape is either generic or outdated.
What's your current traffic acquisition plan - SEO-first or community seeding?
