Review Harvest for Amazon

Review Harvest for Amazon turns an Amazon search results page into an XLSX of product reviews — plus a free **AI Intel** sheet that summarizes recurring weaknesses per product. You stay signed in to your own Amazon account, pick filters in a small popup, and get the files in your Downloads folder. No sign-up, no API key, no account tied to the extension. Scraping runs locally in your browser. The optional AI summarization step sends only the just-scraped review text to our backend (proxied to Google's Gemini API) and returns themed insights — full disclosure in the privacy policy. How we're different Other Amazon review scrapers on the Chrome Web Store have one of three problems: they scrape only one product at a time (you have to open each product page manually), they gate real usage behind a paywall that caps you at 10 to 100 reviews per day, or they hand you a raw spreadsheet with no pattern recognition across hundreds of reviews. Review Harvest for Amazon addresses all three. One run, dozens of products. Point it at an Amazon search results page and it collects reviews for up to 50 products automatically. Competitors still make you visit each product page. Free AI Intel — themed weakness summaries per product. After every scrape, the extension sends each product's reviews to our Gemini-powered backend and writes 3 themed insights per ASIN into Sheet 2 of the XLSX: category (e.g., "effectiveness", "taste", "side-effects"), severity, frequency, and a verbatim quote. Categories are coined by the model from your actual reviews — not a fixed taxonomy. No paywall, no signup. Free while in beta. No credit card, no paywall. You export everything you ask for. When we add paid tiers, the email signup (optional, post-first-run) is how you'll find out. Uses your own Amazon session. Credentials are never stored or transmitted. A typical run takes a few minutes to harvest reviews and analyze themes. What it does Reads products directly from the Amazon search or browse page you are viewing. Filters by star rating, verified purchases, and sort order (most recent or most helpful). After the scrape, automatically sends each product's reviews to our backend for AI theme analysis. Saves XLSX files to your Downloads folder and shows a desktop notification when done. Keeps a list of recent runs so you can re-download past scrapes without re-running them. How to use 1. Install the extension and pin it to your toolbar. 2. Sign in to amazon.com as you normally would. 3. Run an Amazon search. 4. Click the Review Harvest for Amazon toolbar icon. 5. Set filters: number of products to scrape (1 to 50), star ratings, reviews per product (10 to 50), verified purchases only, and sort order. 6. Click Scrape. A progress bar shows progress. You can click Cancel any time — the extension still saves what it has so far. 7. When the scrape completes, the reviews-only XLSX is saved automatically and AI Intel runs in the background. A second progress bar shows the analyze step. 8. When analyze completes, click "Download Intel (XLSX)" to save the file with both sheets (raw reviews + AI themes). 9. To re-download a past result, switch to the Recent tab and click re-download. A run takes a few minutes to harvest reviews and analyze themes. Don't run multiple scrapes in parallel. What you get Two XLSX files per run (both styled with a brand-blue header band, ready for Excel/Sheets/LibreOffice): `amazon-reviews-<query>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.xlsx` — the raw reviews export (single sheet), saved immediately when the scrape finishes. `review-intel-<query>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.xlsx` — the full intel export (two sheets: reviews + AI themes), available after AI Intel completes. Both files share the same Sheet 1 columns: asin — the product's Amazon ASIN. brand — the brand as shown on the product page (best effort; empty if not detected). productTitle — the product title from the search results card. stars — visualized as ★ glyphs (★★★★☆ = 4); the underlying numeric value is preserved for filtering. title — the review's headline. body — the review text. date — as Amazon displays it, for example "Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2026". verified — true if Amazon marks the review as a Verified Purchase. helpful — number of helpful votes, or 0 if none shown. reviewerName — the public display name shown next to the review. error — populated only when an entire product fails to scrape. The Intel XLSX adds a second sheet with one row per product: asin, brand, productTitle, reviewCount, avgStars — match Sheet 1. enoughData — true when there were enough reviews (≥2) to attempt analysis. insights — bulleted theme summary, one bullet per theme: `<category> · <severity> · <frequency>× — <label>: "<verbatim quote>"`. topKeywords — five most-frequent non-stopword tokens across the review bodies (no AI here). generatedAt — ISO 8601 UTC timestamp. Strings that could be misread as a formula by Excel or Sheets are escaped, so opening either file can't trigger anything. Privacy The extension does not handle, store, or transmit your Amazon credentials. No telemetry, no analytics, no advertising SDKs. What stays on your device: scraped review rows in your XLSX files, the run-history list, the brand-lookup cache, and an anonymous install identifier. What leaves your device, with disclosure: when AI Intel runs (default-on after every scrape), each product's review text is POSTed over HTTPS to our Railway-hosted backend, which forwards the prompt to Google's Gemini API. Themed summaries return to your browser and land in Sheet 2 of the Intel XLSX. Per Google's paid Gemini API terms, your reviews are not used to train Google's models. Full detail in the privacy policy linked from the listing. The list of recent runs is stored in Chrome's local extension storage on your device. You can clear it from the Recent tab. Uninstalling the extension wipes everything device-side. Requirements Desktop Chrome. An Amazon account, signed in at amazon.com…
