About The Project

While building products we often require feedback to improve but to take in 100 reviews at a single time is pretty tough to remember. Artificial Intelligence has transformed a lot of industries in the past and hence it makes sense to transform this arena as well. With SmartScrapes, these reviews are processed quickly using the power of Natural Language Processing which gives us a quick, efficient bird's eye view of the performance of the product involved.

Examples

This project is now deployed at https://smartscrapes.herokuapp.com/ so do check it out.

List of usernames to try out!

• Tesla: A company founded by Elon Musk. Would be cool to analyze the online presence of a big company eh?
• PlayChoices: A mobile app that lets you play stories. Pretty cool app and I do play it:)

Tips while viewing the visulizations on the app!

• Make sure to have at least a basic twitter account for your brand to analyze it.
• If the visualization don't load up soon try it once again. It might be because of pre-processing delays
• If the visualizations seems small try toggling the zoom values. They are responsive so it would definetely come into the correct shape :p
• Finally, it is not just a static visualization so play around with it and save it up on your device afterwards!
