Use this before you buy a gadget that promises to use AI. It asks what the AI actually does, which claims are marketing, whether it needs a subscription and what happens to your data, then gives you questions to check before buying.
Works inChatGPTClaudeGemini
I am thinking about buying [PRODUCT NAME], which says it uses AI to [WHAT IT CLAIMS TO DO].
Help me think it through. (1) In plain language, what is the AI actually doing here? (2) Which claims sound like real features and which sound like marketing? (3) Does it need a subscription, an account, or internet access to work? (4) What happens to my data (photos, audio, video)? (5) What are the likely problems after a year of use?
Then give me 5 questions to check in the reviews or on the product page before I buy.
Tip: This is the question this whole site is about. Read the product page and real user reviews, too.
