You're In Business

RecallNote addresses a clear student pain point (retention) using relevant AI technology (Google LearnLM). However, the project is in a very early pre-launch stage with minimal traction (30 beta testers) and no revenue. While the problem-solution fit is logical, the intense competition in the EdTech/AI study aid market and the lack of verifiable distribution channels significantly limit its current usefulness score compared to established platforms.
