MatrixFlow Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo) announces the official release of "Arekore" (https://arekoreshop.com/), an AI shopping decision assistant. By simply entering the URL or name of a product you're interested in, the AI automatically performs reliability checks of reviews, analyzes the causes of low ratings, compares with other products, and searches for the lowest prices, providing an evidence-based judgment on whether "it's okay to buy" within 5 minutes.

■ Background of Service Development
The choices in online shopping are increasing year by year, making consumers' purchasing decisions increasingly difficult. According to a survey, one in two people give up on purchasing because they "can't make a choice" (SMARTASSISTANT, 2018).
Consumers face three major challenges:
It's difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake reviews.
Even one low rating makes them anxious and hesitant to purchase.
They get exhausted just by browsing multiple sites to compare products.
"Arekore" is a service that solves these consumer problems of "wanting to buy but unable to decide" with the power of AI.

■ Service Features
【1】Decision completed in 5 minutes
By simply providing the product name or URL, the AI automatically investigates review reliability, reasons for low ratings, comparisons with other products, and the lowest prices. Instead of just listing information, it presents a conclusion with evidence on whether "it's okay to buy."
【2】Visualize review reliability with a "Sakura Score"
Quantifies the reliability of reviews with a score from 0 to 100. Reduces the risk of being deceived by fake reviews.
【3】Analyzes reasons for low ratings and clarifies "It doesn't apply to you"
Categorizes the reasons for low ratings and determines whether they apply to the user's situation. Resolves the anxiety of "even with a 4.3 rating, a 1-star review is concerning."
【4】Presents "This is the best" through cross-comparison
Automatically compares with other options and proposes the optimal product for the user with evidence. All information is provided with reference URLs, ensuring transparency that users can verify themselves.
【5】4 AI shop assistants with unique personalities
Users can choose a customer service style that suits their preference from four AI shop assistants: Akari (balanced type), Haruka (empathetic type), Aoi (logical type), and Yuki (speed type). Each responds with a different voice, allowing users to consult casually as if talking to a shop assistant.
【6】Search for products through conversation
Users can search for products that perfectly match their needs by conversing with the AI, such as "Do you have any recommended earphones for 30,000 yen?" It's okay even if you haven't decided what to buy.
【7】Speak with voice
No typing required. The AI responds just by speaking. You can consult about shopping hands-free.
【8】Personalized support
Learns user preferences, budget, and lifestyle from past conversations, and provides optimized suggestions for repeat users.
