Turn 50 WooCommerce reviews into a clear read on what customers actually think

One command reads your approved reviews, computes the average rating, and returns a structured analysis of themes, praise, and complaints. No spreadsheet, no manual reading.

Your reviews are data you have never read systematically

A product with 40 reviews contains hundreds of signals: specific feature praise, recurring complaints, edge cases, and comparison mentions. Most store owners skim the lowest-rated ones after a bad week and call it done. The pattern that appears in 30 of those 40 reviews stays invisible.

You can read them one by one. That takes an hour, produces no structure, and leaves everything in your head. The next person who needs to know must start over.

What most people do instead

Read them manually one by one Time-consuming, pattern-blind, and the insight evaporates the moment you close the tab. No written summary, no action list.
Export to a spreadsheet and tag rows Takes 90 minutes per product. You still have to read every row, write your own tags, and then summarize the tags. Not a system, a chore.
Paste all reviews into a chat window Copying 40 reviews by hand takes time you don't have. You miss the star ratings, lose context, and still have to format the prompt yourself every time.

A better way: structured analysis in seconds

Run tp analyze reviews -product_id=312 in the TrueCommander navigator. The command pulls up to 50 of the most recent approved reviews, includes each star rating, computes the average, and sends the full set to AI with a prompt built for structured feedback analysis. The navigator renders the themes, praise summary, and complaint summary in one clean response. It reads nothing except what is already in your database, it writes nothing back.

Read-only, always. The command fetches approved reviews and sends them to AI. It does not post, edit, approve, or delete anything. Your reviews stay exactly as they are.

How it works

WooCommerce is required. The command calls wc_get_product($product_id) to confirm the product exists, then fetches up to 50 of its most recent approved reviews via get_comments with status=approve and comment_type=review. Each review body is truncated to 600 characters. The star rating is read from the rating comment meta field. The average is computed from all returned ratings. The full set goes to the AI proxy with a prompt requesting structured output: key themes, what customers praise, what they complain about, and any notable patterns.

Real example

Your flagship jacket has 40 reviews and a 4.0 average you haven't interrogated in months. You type tp analyze reviews -product_id=88. The analysis comes back in seconds: customers consistently praise the hood adjustment and the water resistance, but 11 reviews mention the same thing, the left zipper catch sticking in cold weather.

You didn't know it was 11. You knew it was "a few." The AI grouped them, counted the pattern, and surfaced the language customers use. You forward the finding to your supplier contact the same afternoon and update the product description to note the fix is coming. One command, one concrete action.
