About Aotum8 Review Manager
From the official readme · v1.0.3Description
Managing WooCommerce reviews manually can take time and make it harder to identify recurring customer concerns.
Aotum8 Review Manager helps store owners review WooCommerce feedback, identify sentiment, prepare professional replies, and keep review workflows organized from the WordPress admin area.
Included Features
- Centralized Dashboard: View and manage all your WooCommerce product reviews from one clean, analytics-driven interface.
- Manual Approval Workflow: Keep full control over which reviews go live on your store.
- Standard Offline Templates: Save time with pre-built, professional templates for common customer complaints or praises.
- WooCommerce Native Integration: Seamlessly hooks into your existing WooCommerce product data and customer profiles.
- Optional AI Provider Support: Connect supported third-party AI providers with your own API key to analyze review sentiment and draft replies. This is fully included, with no restrictions or additional purchase required.
- Provider Fallback: Configure provider credentials so analysis can try another configured provider if the selected provider fails.
- Human-in-the-loop by default: AI-drafted replies are saved as a suggestion for you to review, not published automatically. Full automation is available as an opt-in setting.
External services
This plugin can connect to third-party AI APIs when you choose AI-powered analysis and provide your own API key. If you use offline templates only, no AI provider request is sent.
When AI analysis is enabled, the plugin sends the WooCommerce review text and prompt instructions needed to generate sentiment and a suggested merchant reply. Provider API keys are stored in your WordPress database and are sent only to the provider you configure when an analysis request is made.

Frequently asked questions
Does this require an OpenAI API Key?
No. Offline templates work without an API key. Optional AI analysis requires your own API key for the provider you choose.
Will this slow down my store?
No. Aotum8 Review Manager operates in the admin backend and does not add frontend storefront assets.
Can I customize the AI’s reply tone?
Yes. You can provide custom system instructions (e.g., “Reply like a friendly surfer”, or “Be highly professional and corporate”).
Will AI replies be posted to my store automatically?
Not unless you turn that on. By default, AI-generated replies are saved as a draft suggestion on the review’s comment edit screen for you to review and publish manually. There is an “Automatically publish AI replies” setting if you want full automation.
