The project represents a media entity (podcast and newsletter) covering AI and commerce. While the podcast 'Intelligence Unbound' exists on Apple and Spotify, the submission contains severe credibility issues, specifically the claim that 'most people have used my product,' which is demonstrably false for a niche media brand. The 'marketcap' revenue figure indicates a confusion of business terms or a token-based project structure. The project has minimal verifiable traction and offers standard content delivery with no technical innovation.
