Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

ProjectUs.ai addresses an intriguing concept within emotion AI, but the submission is compromised by severe red flags and unrealistic assertions. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' and an 'all time marketcap' of 2,500,000 for a 30-person team lacking concrete details are entirely unsupported. The profound lack of verifiable traction and vague responses strictly limit the score, placing it firmly in the minimal traction category.

Description

“Us” aims to help people develop their sense of empathy. It uses machine learning to analyze interlocutors’ signals (e.g., tone of voice, choice of words, facial expressions, electrodermal activity, heart rate, etc.) during conversations, and feeds the emotional content back to them in real time and through multiple analyses. We have versions of the system for both in-person and online conversations.
