The project appears to be a dormant or abandoned initiative originally launched in 2017. The submitted URL (aidirectory.ai) currently resolves to a generic website template with placeholder text (e.g., 'Service 1', 'Client Name'), indicating no active development or utility. The submission contains significant red flags, including verifiable falsehoods regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and inconsistent contact information. While the original partnership between SalesChoice and IT World Canada was legitimate, the current iteration presented here lacks substance, functional technology, or a user base.
