The project 'DemoGorilla' corresponds to a real Y Combinator (W22) startup that appears to be inactive or dead (Tracxn status: Inactive). The submission contains highly inaccurate and hallucinatory claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'), which contradicts the niche B2B nature of the tool. While the original concept of real-time browser-based demo scripts had utility, the project shows no current verifiable traction, and the submission quality is critically low.
