The submission makes highly exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims, such as an audience reach of 'everyone' and traction stating 'most people have used my product'. Despite a promising concept of humanizing AI for sales and an early 2017 launch date, there is no verifiable evidence of real-world adoption, technical sophistication, or verifiable revenue. The reported 'all time marketcap' of 2500000 suggests a poorly performing token or a misunderstanding of financial metrics, rather than actual business traction. The severe lack of detail in technologies used ('Software Development') further diminishes the project's credibility.

Description
The Neural Sales team is fundamentally changing the path of this technology by bringing a more human quality to AI. To do this, they are taking a unique approach by using Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Neural Networks to develop a broad understanding of people, products, and industries. They then use these insights to communicate with individuals in a way that will make them feel truly recognized. The use of their technology is far-reaching and can be applied to any application that would benefit from a deeper understanding of the person. Initially, their focus is on use cases in Sales and Marketing, and they plan to quickly branch into Human Resources, Neural Impairments (Alzheimer, Dementia), Threat Detection, Business to Business Marketing, and much more. Neural Sales has built a team of the highest caliber Artificial Intelligence practitioners from Stanford University and UC Berkeley. They have matched these young brainiacs with seasoned industry veterans that have built and sold multiple successful tech companies. This is a highly disciplined team that will quickly execute on their broad Go-To-Market Vision.
