Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Pollo AI appears to be a functional web-based aggregator/wrapper for various third-party AI video models (like Kling, Luma, etc.), offering convenience to content creators. However, the submission is critically flawed: it contains hyperbolic falsehoods ('most people have used my product'), confused financial metrics ('marketcap' for a SaaS tool), and claims a team size of '0', suggesting a solo developer or low-effort entry. While the platform has verifiable existence and some social media coverage (YouTube tutorials), the submission's lack of professionalism and verifiable proprietary technology severely penalizes the score.
