Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Konect.ai (rebranded to ICOM AI in late 2023) is a legitimate automotive AI company that raised $5.5M in Seed funding from Silverton Partners. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing factually false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and typographical errors. While the underlying technology and business have significant real-world utility and traction, the submission itself fails to accurately represent them. The score reflects the verified potential of the business, heavily penalized for the deceptive and lazy quality of the submission data.
