Automated merchant review summary system with integrated feedback

Summary

The system uses representative sampling, large language model (LLM) summarization, automated quality checks, and consumer feedback to generate concise summaries from written merchant reviews. Consumers can scan an overall summary or focus on specific topics such as taste, packaging, and portion size, while merchants can identify recurring themes without reading every comment. The pipeline calculates the merchant’s rating distribution, uses a sentiment model to score reviews, and applies stratified sampling to select a representative subset before sending them to an LLM for summary generation. A separate LLM validates that each claim in the generated summary is supported by the source reviews, and summaries that fail this automated assessment are withheld from publication to reduce unsupported claims. The system regenerates summaries when new reviews or negative consumer feedback reach configured thresholds, and the feedback-driven regeneration includes anti-abuse controls to maintain trustworthiness.

Takeaways

1. 1

   The system uses stratified sampling based on rating distribution to select a representative subset of reviews, reducing the chance that one rating group dominates the summary.

2. 2

   A separate LLM validates that each claim in the generated summary is supported by the source reviews; summaries that fail are withheld from publication.

3. 3

   The system regenerates summaries when new reviews or negative consumer feedback reach configured thresholds, with anti-abuse controls needed for trustworthiness.
