Implicit learning

The simulator learns your review style silently over time. Every save, regenerate, copy, and adjust action is a signal:

Action	What it teaches
Saving a review	You liked that style and tone
Regenerating	That style didn’t match your taste
Copying	You approved the content
Adjusting	Explicit preference captured

After enough interactions, the engine applies your patterns automatically — no settings page, no setup required.

Copy and share

The review is yours. Copy it to Google Reviews, your WhatsApp status, your food blog — no watermark, no attribution required.
