SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Most product reviews are written in the first week of ownership, so buyers cannot tell how a product holds up after months of real use. This Skill finds long-term owner feedback, common failure reports, and cheaper alternatives, then delivers a clear buy-or-skip verdict. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Long-Term Review Search: Runs three targeted web searches covering six-month owner reviews, reported failures and annoyances, and alternatives people switched to. - Verdict-First Output: Leads with an actionable verdict, names the specific failure people report and how common it is, and separates paid or affiliate coverage from real owner experience. - Use Case: Before buying noise cancelling headphones, ask whether they are worth it and receive a verdict based on owners who used them for six months, including the actual selling price rather than the list price. ## Quick Start Ask whether the product you are considering is worth the money, naming the exact item you are thinking about buying.

Frequently Asked Questions about worth-the-money

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find long term reviews before buying a product?▼

Search for owner reviews written after six months of use rather than launch-week coverage. This Skill runs three targeted searches covering long-term owner feedback, reported failures, and alternatives people switched to, then summarizes the findings as a verdict.

How to tell if a product review is affiliate or genuine?▼

Affiliate roundups typically lack ownership evidence and push purchase links, while genuine owner reviews mention specific wear, failures, and usage duration. This Skill separates paid and affiliate coverage from real owners and states which is which.

What happens if a product is too new for long term reviews?▼

When a product is too new for six-month owner feedback, the Skill says so explicitly and provides the closest previous model instead. It never invents reviews, ratings, prices, or owner quotes to fill the gap.

Does this Skill require signing in or making purchases?▼

No sign-in or purchase is required. The Skill operates read-only through web search, never adds items to a cart, and redacts account details, order history, and anything behind an unexpected login prompt.

What are the limitations of review-based purchase research?▼

Review-based research depends on publicly available owner feedback, so very new or niche products may lack sufficient data. Sources that fail to load are skipped, and results reflect reported experiences rather than controlled testing.
