Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission represents an established AI e-commerce chatbot with real-world utility, but the submission itself features highly exaggerated and vague claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'). As a result, evidence of traction, audience reach, and response quality receive significant penalties via the quality factor. The product solves a genuine problem, but the lack of concrete metrics in the application hinders a higher score.
