Kubiya

Analysis completed on 1/24/2026

+386
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project, actually named Kubiya (submission used 'WhisperShade'), is a verified venture-backed ($12M+ Seed/Series A) conversational AI platform for DevOps. Despite the submission containing significant inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as audience and hallucinating the name), external validation confirms high real-world utility, strong market timing, and adoption by enterprise engineering teams. The score reflects the high value of the verified technology and backing, heavily penalized only in the 'Response Quality' metric due to the poor submission data.
