The submission conflates two distinct entities: a YC-backed B2B messaging startup (Bitesize.co) and the famous BBC Bitesize education platform (launched 1998). The description matches the B2B startup, but the launch date, business type, and traction claims ('most people have used my product') describe the BBC service. This severe data integrity failure, combined with the B2B startup's apparent stagnation since 2018 (minimal traffic, seed stage), results in a low score despite the valid problem space.

Description
Bitesize helps companies communicate with consumers 1-on-1 at scale. We are building the conversation management platform for all brands and consumers.\n\nPeople hate getting spammed. Consumers are getting spammy one-way messages (emails, text messages, and push notifications) that sound robotic and are sent en mass. When people reply to these text messages or emails, they often hear nothing back from companies.\n\nCompanies spend $83B on spammy one-way digital communication because they have no way of replying to millions of messages efficiently. It only brings 2% growth, which is a terrible ROI.\n\nWe have a solution that brings 200% return to companies instead of 2%. Bitesize enables companies to batch responses and reply via a human assist AI system. It allows companies to have complete control of messaging, while scaling 1-on-1 interactions. This allows just one person to manage conversations with millions of people.
