Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission relies heavily on a generic array of buzzwords (Blockchain, ML, AI, VoIP) without a cohesive product narrative or specific use case. Outrageous and completely unsubstantiated claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and reach ('everyone') constitute significant red flags. With zero reported active users and no real-world proof of implementation since its 2017 inception, the project triggers the negative calibration tier for unverifiable traction and red flags.

Description
Deep In Thought, LLC was founded in July 2017, me and my colleagues noticed a growing trend with inefficient tools, processes, vendors, proper training and security offerings. We decided to dive right into the blockchain and ML/DL/NLP/AI boom. Firstly, targeting our development to blockchain services and applications. We strive to release quality open source code and welcome peer reviews along the way. Also, DeepIT plans to utilize the latest CUDA toolkits, inconjunction with NVIDIA's latest Volta GPU's to maximize blockchain experiences; as well as AMD's recent GPUOpen.com offering. We are currently testing various machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, AI and cognitive services from local and cloud providers all the way to a decentralized blockchain service. We may be releasing some MSP (managed service provider) services to help that sector transition to better quality products for their business needs. Such offerings as branded VoIP applications and services that can integrate with existing VoIP infrastructures and simplify migrations where needed too. All VoIP offerings will have optional hooks into existing customer databases or API's, then integrate into services such as Alexa, Cortana, OK Google, SMS, SIP, Workflow automation, etc. Please contact us at support@deepinthought.io if you're interested in being a test bed.
