Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Fini' appears to correspond to a legitimate AI customer support startup (likely Y Combinator backed), but the submission itself is of extremely low quality. The claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience ('everyone') are hyperbolic and unverifiable, resulting in significant penalties. While the market timing for AI support agents is strong and the underlying utility is high, the lack of serious evidence or effort in this submission severely limits the Proof of Usefulness score.
