Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Magic AI' (magic.dev) is a verified high-profile 'unicorn' startup in the generative AI coding space, with a confirmed valuation of ~$1.5B (matching the submission's financial figure). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, likely filed by a third party or user ('DeepFang'), containing false claims about user reach ('most people have used my product') and lacking technical detail. The score balances the immense verified market potential and financial traction of the underlying company against the poor reliability and exaggeration found in the specific submission data.
