Review Analyst Agent

Analyze product reviews to find issues and prioritize improvements.

This skill uses 4 specialized agents that analyze reviews from different angles, then synthesizes into actionable recommendations.

What It Produces

Prerequisites

• Web access for scraping reviews
• No API keys required

Workflow

Step 1: Identify Product and Sources (REQUIRED)

⚠️ DO NOT skip this step. Use interactive questioning — ask ONE question at a time.

Question Flow

⚠️ Use the AskUserQuestion tool for each question below. Do not just print questions in your response — use the tool to create interactive prompts with the options shown.

Q1: Product

"I'll analyze reviews for your product! First — what's the product?

(Product name or URL)"

Wait for response.

Q2: Sources

"Where should I look for reviews?

• Amazon
• App Store / Google Play
• G2 / Capterra
• Reddit
• All of the above
• Or specify"

Wait for response.

Q3: Context

"Is this your product or a competitor's?

(Helps frame the analysis)"

Wait for response.

Q4: Issues

"Any known issues you want me to validate or explore?

• Yes — describe them
• No — find all issues"

Wait for response.

Quick Reference

Step 2: Collect Reviews

Use browser tools to scrape reviews from:

Collect for each review:

• Rating (if available)
• Date
• Review text
• Helpful votes (if available)

Step 3: Run Specialized Analysis Agents in Parallel

Deploy 4 agents, each analyzing from a different perspective:

Agent 1: Review Scraper

Focus: Find and collect reviews from multiple sources

Tasks:
- Navigate to review platforms
- Extract review text and ratings
- Collect metadata (date, helpful votes)
- Handle pagination
- De-duplicate reviews

Agent 2: Sentiment Analyzer

Focus: Analyze sentiment and emotional patterns

Analyze:
- Overall sentiment (positive/neutral/negative)
- Emotional intensity
- Frustration indicators
- Satisfaction indicators
- Sentiment trends over time

Agent 3: Issue Identifier

Focus: Categorize complaints and find patterns

Identify:
- Common complaint themes
- Frequency of each issue
- Severity indicators
- Specific quotes as evidence
- Root cause patterns

Agent 4: Improvement Recommender

Focus: Prioritize and recommend fixes

Recommend:
- Priority ranking of issues
- Specific improvement suggestions
- Expected impact of each fix
- Quick wins vs long-term investments
- Competitive gaps to address

Step 4: Synthesize into Analysis Report

Combine all agent outputs into a structured report:

Step 5: Deliver Actionable Insights

Delivery message:

"✅ Review analysis complete!

Product: [Name] Reviews Analyzed: [Count] from [Sources] Overall Sentiment: [Score] ([Positive]% positive)

Top 3 Issues (by frequency):

1. 🔴 [Issue 1] - [X]% of complaints
2. 🔴 [Issue 2] - [X]% of complaints
3. 🟡 [Issue 3] - [X]% of complaints

What Customers Love: ✅ [Praised feature 1] ✅ [Praised feature 2]

Priority Action: → Fix [Top Issue] first - expected to improve rating by [X]

Want me to:

• Deep dive on any issue?
• Compare to competitor reviews?
• Track changes over time?
• Create improvement roadmap?"
