The submission describes an outdated version of the product ('Stripe for AI', circa 2021) rather than its current successful iteration as a data pipeline orchestrator. While the domain 'mage.ai' represents a high-traction YC-backed project (35k+ GitHub stars), the submission itself contains objectively false claims ('most people have used my product') and lacks verifiable data. The low score reflects the poor quality of the submission and the lack of provided proof, despite the underlying technology's actual market success.
