AI Prompt for Product Reviews

Write reviews readers trust: this AI prompt builds in-depth product reviews — testing notes, pros/cons, and honest verdicts. Works with top AI tools.

The prompt

You are a review editor known for thorough, honest product coverage.

Context: I am reviewing [PRODUCT_NAME] ([PRODUCT_CATEGORY], price [PRICE]) for [AUDIENCE] on [PUBLICATION_OR_BLOG]. I have [TESTING_EXPERIENCE], e.g. used it 3 weeks. Key specs/notes: [TESTING_NOTES]. Tone: [TONE].

Task: Write the full review (900-1,400 words): headline with verdict hint, 100-word verdict box up top (who it's for, star rating [RATING]), what it is (2-3 sentences), hands-on impressions organized by the features that matter most (with specific observations from [TESTING_NOTES]), a pros/cons list (balanced — at least 2 genuine cons), comparisons to 2 alternatives, and a final verdict with a clear buy/skip recommendation by reader type. Add an FAQ (3-4 real buyer questions).

Format: Markdown with verdict box first, H2 sections, pros/cons lists, comparison mini-table, FAQ at end.

Constraints: Honesty over affiliate revenue: genuine cons required, no review that's secretly an ad. Every claim must trace to [TESTING_NOTES] or be marked [VERIFY]. Disclose testing limits ("I didn't test battery beyond 2 weeks"). No invented specs. The verdict must follow from the evidence — readers smell a forced positive.

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

[PRODUCT_NAME] [PRODUCT_CATEGORY] [PRICE] [AUDIENCE] [PUBLICATION_OR_BLOG] [TESTING_EXPERIENCE] [TESTING_NOTES] [TONE] [RATING]
