## What is Review Responder AI?

Stop losing reputation to unanswered reviews. Review Responder reads every incoming Google and Yelp review, drafts a response tuned to sentiment and brand voice, and lets you send or edit in one tap. Your ratings stop leaking. Your managers stop guessing.                                                                                               
                                                                                                                        
  Features:                                                                                                             
  • AI-drafted replies that match how you actually talk to guests
  • Sentiment detection: empathetic for negatives, gracious for positives, clear for operational complaints
  • Tone presets by location or manager                                                                    
  • Unified inbox for Google and Yelp  
  • Response templates you can save and reuse across locations                                                          
                                                              
  Built by an operator who knows that one slow reply can cost a rebooking. Free to start.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-03-16

ReviewResponder v1.0.3 — Release Notes                      
                                                                                
  AI Response Quality
                                                                                
  - Updated system prompt to v2 spec — restructured the entire AI prompt with   
  dedicated sections for Tone Guidelines, Style Rules, Rating-Based Response
  Strategy, Edge Cases, and a Core Principle                                    
  - Added word count targeting — responses now target 35-80 words, never exceed
  120 (excluding sign-off)                                                      
  - New style rules — AI no longer repeats menu items/dishes from the review,
  won't apologize excessively, won't admit legal fault, and never blames the    
  guest                                                       
  - Separate strategies per review type — positive (Thank → Appreciate → Welcome
   back), mixed (Thank → Acknowledge → Improve → Invite back), negative         
  (Acknowledge → Express concern → Invite contact)
  - Edge case handling — graceful responses for empty reviews, hostile language,
   false accusations, and service complaints                                    
  - Photo mention fix — AI no longer mentions photos/images unless the reviewer
  explicitly referenced them. Photo context is only injected when photoCount > 0
                                                              
  Security & Abuse Prevention                                                   
                                                              
  - Server-side generation counter — free tier limit (15/month) is now enforced 
  on the server via Postgres, tied to a persistent device ID. Can't be bypassed
  by clearing app data                                                          
  - Rate limiting — 30 requests/minute per IP on /generate, /ocr, and
  /analyze-review endpoints                                                     
  - Input validation — reviewText is validated (required, max 5000 characters)
  before hitting the OpenAI API                                                 
  - API keys moved out of source code — RevenueCat key now loaded from app
  config via expo-constants instead of hardcoded                                
                                                              
  Reliability                                                                   
                                                              
  - Promise.allSettled() for response generation — if one GPT-4 variant call    
  fails, the remaining variants still return successfully instead of a total
  failure                                                                       
  - Centralized API base URL — all API calls now use the shared constants/api.ts
   config (localhost in dev, Railway in production)                             
   
  Free Tier UX                                                                  
                                                              
  - Accurate loading text — free users now see "Generating 3 options..." instead
   of the incorrect "Generating 5 options..."                 
  - Upgrade prompt on responses — after generating, free users see a "+2 more   
  styles available with Pro" banner below the variant tabs, linking to the      
  paywall
                                                                                
  Cleanup                                                                       
   
  - Removed unused modal screen — deleted dead modal.tsx and its route          
  registration
