# Generate authentic Nigerian restaurant reviews

> Use the Review Simulator on web, WhatsApp, or the API to generate Pidgin, English, Yoruba, Hausa, or Igbo reviews with a star rating and tone label.

The Review Simulator turns your restaurant experience into an authentic review in seconds. Supply the restaurant and your persona — the engine writes it in your language.

## Languages supported

Reviews can be generated in five Nigerian languages:

| Language            | Tone example                                              |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Nigerian Pidgin** | *"E dey sweet die, the jollof burst brain"*               |
| **English**         | *"The food quality was excellent and service was prompt"* |
| **Yoruba**          | *"Onje yi dara gan, emi o feran iye owo naa"*             |
| **Hausa**           | *"Abincin yana da kyau, amma tsada kaɗan"*                |
| **Igbo**            | *"Nri a dị mma, ọ bụ ihe ọma ị bịa ebe a"*                |

## The five tone labels

| Label          | Style                                         |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `pidgin-heavy` | Dense Pidgin throughout — *"E dey sweet die"* |
| `mixed`        | Pidgin and English blended                    |
| `formal`       | Standard English, Nigerian sensibility        |
| `casual`       | Relaxed English with Naija touches            |
| `critical`     | Honest and direct, any tone                   |

## 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.
