You're In Business

The project 'Sayso' (sayso.ai) appears to be a now-defunct or failed startup that previously attempted innovative real-time accent conversion technology. External verifications point to a 'postmortem' confirming the company failed after generating ~$75K in revenue, contradicting the submission's hyperbolic claim that 'most people have used my product.' While the underlying technology was technically novel, the business lacked sustainability. The submission quality is extremely low, with delusional metrics and vague descriptions.
