👋 Hey Product Hunt!
We’re Pranesh and Rudra, co-founders of Lyra, your personal shopping assistant.
Online shopping today feels like a chore. You’re hopping between tabs, digging through Reddit or X for real reviews, and hunting for deals. Retailers are racing to build AI chatbots, but each one is locked within its own site, creating fragmented and siloed experiences that stop at their own walls.
Lyra works for you, not for any one store. It curates the best products, verifies trusted reviews, and surfaces top deals — all through a simple Chrome extension.
This is just the beginning. We are building the digital best friend for shopping, one that knows your taste, saves you time, and makes finding the perfect thing feel like magic. We’d love your feedback and support. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed while shopping online, give Lyra a spin!

🧡 We’re here all day to answer questions and jam on ideas
With all the manipulation happening in online reviews these days how does Lyra adjust if some bad actors start messing with the review patterns it monitors?
@olivia_johnston1 It is easy to manipulate reviews on a few shopping sites. Lyra tackles this by aggregating reviews from variety of sources like relevant reddit communities, twitter, youtube videos and many more. This makes it way less prone to manipulation.
@sophia_watson3 Lyra recommends products from across the web. The context awareness is tailored to 5-10 most popular shopping sites. We have plans to enable Lyra on all shopping websites.
I absolutely love the concept of shopping smarter, not harder. Does Lyra send real time alerts if a better deal comes up while you’re checking out a product?
@william_rivera3 It is on our roadmap. We want our users to be able to tell Lyra what to buy - and it should be able to figure out the when, where and how - to automatically buy it when there is a price drop.
Since shoppers have different priorities like quality, price or delivery speed does Lyra let users tweak how it ranks or prioritizes the best product recommendations?
@samuel_morris We have a "shopping style" setting in the user preferences, which lets users select if they prefer quality, price, sustainable products, or something else. We want improve this so that Lyra can analyze past shopping choices to learn user preferences.
@kamil_riddle Its not trained differently, but we query the internet in real time. For example, it will query specific subreddits, magazines or youtube reviewers for specific categories.
A tool that verifies reviews and helps find deals sounds incredibly handy but how does Lyra figure out which reviews are genuinely trustworthy? Are there certain signals it looks for?
@julian_baker4 It aggregates from variety of sources. It also looks at tweets and reddit posts - which are not a reviews in the traditional sense, but provide more honest and trustworthy opinions on products.
Thank You for building this. Much needed. Lyra helped me with brand discovery and making my shopping easier by getting me best deals and best products based on the reviews. The future I see with Lyra is being my assistant who knows me well and who can even recommend me products based on what it knows about me
Amazing product! I was looking for a trimmer and came across Lyra. It helped me narrow down from so many different options and got me the best price. It is a game changer for online shoppers! Kudos to the developers and hoping to see what Lyra has to offer next!
@aayush_gupta26 Thanks Aayush for checking it out! Lyra as of now operates across Amazon, walmart, target, macy’s, homedepot, best buy and wayfair. We plan to
expand it further
Hello @praneshanubhav
Can this extension read from other popular extensions like Keepa to suggest price insights from the history?
Would be cool to get quick overview of lowest price and frequency of drops.
Thanks!

This is cool! Does it support voice chat too? :)
@rohanrecommends Thanks Rohan! It doesn't support voice chat as of now, we have it in our roadmap.
It’s fantastic that Lyra addresses two big shopping issues at once fake reviews and missed deals.
@max_lincoln Glad it resonates with you. What else would you like us to address next?
Amazing. Can users track price history trends with Lyra? Like can you see if a current deal is really a good one compared to past prices?

Does Lyra work across all e-commerce platforms or is it mainly tailored for specific sites like Amazon, Walmart or Best Buy?

Is Lyra’s review-verification AI trained differently based on the product category, like tech, fashion or home goods?
@kamil_riddle Its not trained differently, but we query the internet in real time. For example, it will query specific subreddits, magazines or youtube reviewers for specific categories.
How does Lyra help users verify if product reviews are genuine? Can it detect fake ratings or products with suspicious review activity?
Amazing idea. Is there a mobile version of Lyra, or is it just designed for desktop shopping right now?
@musa_fischer We are working on a mobile version. Stay tuned!
Does Lyra work with international sites or is it just focused on the US for now?
@arthur_carson We started out with US, and need to do some tweaks before launching in other marketplaces. Stay tuned!

@akshit_j1 Glad you found it useful
Is Lyra mainly focused on Amazon, or does it work across multiple shopping sites?
That's Cool. It will help online shoppers. I do not know much, but it will be a great tool to identify viral products for dropshippers.
@praneshanubhav @siddharth_wagh Yes. I myself am a long time keepa user and this feature is already on our roadmap.
