PanelPilot

PanelPilot is a mobile + web app that helps shoppers choose a TV or streaming device based on what actually matters in their room and usage. You answer a short questionnaire (room brightness, viewing distance, gaming needs, budget, content sources), then the app ranks models using a transparent scoring system that blends objective specs with normalized review data. It flags common gotchas like fake refresh rates, poor HDR peak brightness, limited HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, bad upscaling, or weak Wi‑Fi chipsets in streamers. A barcode/URL scan pulls up an instant “should you buy this?” card with better alternatives at similar prices and a plain-English explanation. It also includes a “price sanity” tracker so you don’t overpay during fake sales. This is an AI + traditional app: AI summarizes noisy reviews and extracts recurring issues; the core logic is rules + data.
