PitchBob.io is a functioning AI-based pitch deck generator and startup 'co-pilot' founded by Dima Maslennikov. While the concept of using AI to structure startup logic before design is sound, the project suffers from significant execution issues. External validation reveals mixed to negative reviews on Product Hunt (including allegations of poor output quality and refund issues), contradicting the submission's wildly exaggerated claim that 'most people have used my product'. The submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false traction claims and inconsistent data. The project has verifiable but minimal traction (~35k claimed users, likely fewer active) and operates in a crowded market of superior competitors.
