Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Aggregate Intellect (ai.science) is a legitimate, venture-backed platform connecting AI researchers and developers, with verified traction including ~$2M in funding and a community of ~20,000 (YouTube/Slack). However, the submission itself contained highly inaccurate and hyperbolic claims (e.g., claiming 'most people' have used the product and reach is 'everyone'), which significantly penalized the Reach and Traction scores. While the underlying technology (Sherpa) and market timing are strong, the disparity between the submission's claims and reality indicates a lack of seriousness in the application.

Description
We are building an AI Technical Advisor for developers; think GitHub for Knowledge. Our platform integrates into, analyzes, and manages knowledge from all tools devs use throughout the life cycle of an R\u0026D project. The platform aims to reduce the time-to-market for experimental software development from months to days by reducing the risk of this kind of project using a combination of crowd- and machine- intelligence.
