Set up your client project: response policy, brand voice, and product facts
A Juma Project is a shared space where the team stores everything Juma needs to know about a client. Create one project per client, add context as you go, and Juma will use what's relevant every time the team runs a flow. For review replies the payoff is compounding: the voice profile and the theme counts carry from one week to the next, so the second run shows what is trending instead of counting from zero.
What to add
Review Response Policy
What the team is already approved to offer in public: the returns window, the replacement policy, the warranty terms, and anything a reply may never mention. This is the file that decides how much of the queue comes back postable. With it in the project, an approved remedy gets written into the reply; without it, every remedy comes back marked [NEEDS APPROVAL] for a human to fill in.
Brand Voice Guide
How the client sounds when they answer a customer in public: greeting, level of formality, the apology language legal has cleared, and what to avoid. Public replies are read by every future shopper on that page, so the voice matters more here than in most channels.
Product and Fulfilment Facts
Dimensions, materials, care instructions, assembly requirements, delivery windows and known supply constraints. These are what a reply cites instead of guessing, and they are what separates a real answer about a mattress firmness rating from a sympathetic paragraph that says nothing.
Guide Juma with project info
Each knowledge item takes a one-line description so Juma knows when to reach for it. Keep them plain and specific.
- Review Response Policy: "What we are pre-approved to offer in a public reply, and what we may never say."
- Brand Voice Guide: "How we sound when we answer a customer in public, including cleared apology language."
- Product and Fulfilment Facts: "Dimensions, materials, care, assembly and delivery facts to cite in replies instead of guessing."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Juma write review responses without a review export?
Yes. Name the brand and the URL and the public review surfaces get read directly: recent reviews on Trustpilot, Google and the brand's own product pages, plus the replies the brand has already posted. The playbook states how many reviews were found on each surface, so the sample is visible rather than assumed.
A CSV or an export from a review platform makes the run sharper, because it carries reviews that are not publicly indexed and it covers a period the team chooses. Paste one in and the same triage, policy check and rollup run against the fuller set.
How is this different from writing product descriptions?
A product description flow writes the listing. This one answers the reviews of it, and then feeds the listing-copy fixes back. The two meet at one point: when several reviewers report the same surprise, the replacement line for the dimensions block or the what-is-included list gets written here and handed to the page.
It is also distinct from a voice-of-customer analysis, which themes internal call quotes for the team to read. Everything in this flow is written to be posted in public under the brand's name, which is why the policy check and the escalation bar exist at all.
Will the replies promise refunds the team has not approved?
No. Nothing gets promised that the brand has not published: no refund, replacement, discount, credit, delivery date or policy outcome. Where a reply genuinely needs one, the draft carries [NEEDS APPROVAL: refund amount] in the reply text so a human decides, and the CSV flags that row.
Add a response policy to the project and the approved remedies get written in properly, which is what turns the marked rows back into postable copy.
Does this work for software reviews on G2 and Capterra?
Yes. The triage, the policy check, the character arithmetic and the theme rollup do not depend on the product being physical. On a software queue the fix classes land differently: more of the recurring themes resolve to a documentation or onboarding fix than to a fulfilment one, and the listing-copy fixes land on the category page rather than a dimensions block.
The same run works for a marketplace seller, a DTC brand, a retailer with on-site reviews and a SaaS vendor answering G2. Name the platforms and the rules for those platforms get applied.
Who checks the replies before they are posted?
The team does. Every reply arrives as a draft with its route, its policy rule and its character count attached so a reputation lead can approve or edit quickly, and anything routed to escalate never reaches a public reply at all without a named owner clearing it.
Juma augments the team, it doesn't replace it. The judgment about what a brand owes an unhappy customer stays with the people who own that relationship.
