Fliption is a legitimate, seed-funded South Korean AI startup specializing in virtual face synthesis for the fashion and e-commerce industries. While the project addresses a genuine B2B pain point (reducing model photography costs) and has verified traction (seed funding, AKOOL partnership, PR coverage), the submission itself is of extremely poor quality. The claims that 'most people have used my product' and the target audience is 'everyone' are demonstrably false and hyperbolic, resulting in severe penalties to the score. The actual traction indicates a nascent B2B stage with limited clients (<10), contradicting the submission's exaggerated reach.
