Sift  /  How it works

Process

How Sift works.

From scan to score in seconds. Here is what happens behind the scenes.

01

Collection

Public conversation scan

When you scan a product, the engine searches thousands of public discussions across Reddit, YouTube, forums, and review sites. It looks for the unfiltered truth that marketing hides.

02

Filtering

Spam and noise removal

Not all comments are real. Sift filters out bot spam, promotional affiliate links, and repetitive astroturfing patterns, to isolate authentic human experience.

03

Synthesis

The verdict

We synthesise the sentiment into a clear verdict. You don't get a generic 4.5 stars. You get specific issues and highlights extracted from real usage stories.

In the app

What you see
at the end.

A clear score, a summary of the top concerns and praises, and better alternatives when they exist. No reading required.
