They don't share data, they slow your page down, and they bill you separately. Runner AI replaces all three with a single native capability that reads your product catalog, order history, and CRO signals to decide what proof to show, where, and when. ![Stop Paying the Review App Tax](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1499951360447-b19be8fe80f5?q=80&w=800&auto=format&fit=crop) [Replace Your Review Stack](https://www.runnerai.com/workspace) ## Product principle > The useful result is AI Ecommerce social proof work you can review, revise, and connect back to the store — not another disconnected dashboard. > > — Runner AI product principle ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is AI Ecommerce social proof automation? AI ecommerce social proof automation is the process of using an AI system to collect customer reviews, surface them at high-impact points in the buyer journey, and continuously A/B-test placement and format to maximise conversion lift — without manual curation or a separate review app. ### Does Runner AI replace my existing review app? Yes. Runner AI collects, displays, and tests social proof natively. You can retire your standalone review collection and display apps and manage everything from one place, with full access to your product catalog and order history for context. ### How does Runner AI decide where to show social proof? Runner AI maps the buyer journey — homepage, category, product page, cart, checkout — and places proof signals where they have the highest measured impact for each segment. Placement decisions are driven by live A/B test results, not static rules. ### Can the live purchase signals be trusted? All live signals (views, recent purchases, stock levels) are pulled from real Runner AI order and inventory data. No fabricated numbers. If a product has sold five units today, it shows five — not a made-up figure. ### How quickly will I see conversion improvements? Most stores see measurable A/B-test signals within two to four weeks of enabling social proof automation. Placement winners are promoted automatically, so improvements compound over time without manual intervention. ## Turn Every Satisfied Customer into a Conversion Signal Runner AI collects, places, and tests social proof automatically — so the more customers you serve, the stronger your conversion engine gets. - Available on Eligible Plans - No Review App Needed - Live A/B Testing on Eligible Plans > Set up automatic social proof on my store that collects reviews, shows live purchase signals, and A/B tests their placement to lift conversions.
