AI Shopping Decision Assistant “Arekore” Officially Launched

MatrixFlow Co., Ltd. has officially released “Arekore” (https://arekoreshop.com/), an AI shopping decision assistant. By simply entering a product URL or name, the AI automatically checks review reliability, analyzes causes of low ratings, compares with other products, and investigates the lowest prices, providing a reasoned judgment on whether a purchase is advisable within 5 minutes.

Background of Service Development

The increasing number of online shopping options has made purchasing decisions more challenging for consumers. Studies indicate that half of consumers abandon purchases due to being overwhelmed by choices (SMARTASSISTANT, 2018). Consumers often face three main issues:

  • Difficulty distinguishing genuine reviews from fake ones.

  • Hesitation to purchase if even one low rating exists.

  • Fatigue from visiting multiple websites for comparisons.

“Arekore” aims to resolve these challenges by leveraging AI to assist consumers who struggle to make purchasing decisions despite wanting to buy.

Service Features

  1. 5-Minute Decision: Simply provide a product name or URL, and the AI automatically investigates review reliability, causes of low ratings, comparisons with other products, and the lowest prices. It presents a conclusion on whether it’s “safe to buy,” complete with supporting reasons, rather than just listing information.
  2. “Sakura” (Fake Review) Score: The reliability of reviews is quantified with a score from 0 to 100, helping to mitigate the risk of being misled by fake reviews.
  3. Low Rating Analysis: Causes of low ratings are categorized, and the AI determines if they apply to the user’s specific use case, alleviating concerns about minor negative feedback even for highly-rated products.
  4. Cross-Product Comparison: The service automatically compares the target product with other options and proposes the optimal choice with supporting reasons. All information includes source URLs to ensure transparency.
  5. Four AI Assistants: Users can choose from four AI assistants—Akari (balanced), Haruka (empathetic), Aoi (logical), and Yuki (speedy)—each offering a distinct conversational style and voice for a personalized shopping consultation experience.
  6. Conversational Product Search: Users can converse with the AI to find suitable products, such as “Are there any recommended earphones under 30,000 yen?”, even if they haven’t decided what to buy.
  7. Voice Interaction: The AI responds to voice commands, allowing for hands-free shopping consultations without typing.
  8. Personalized Recommendations: “Arekore” learns user preferences, budget, and lifestyle from past conversations, providing optimized suggestions for repeat users.
