Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Scribe addresses a genuine pain point (information overload in group chats) with a logical technical architecture involving Neo4j and robust scraping. However, the project is in a very early Alpha stage with negligible reach (approx. 10 users) and no verifiable public traction. While the concept fits well into the current market demand for AI curation, the lack of an established user base and revenue heavily suppresses the score compared to mature businesses.

Description
Scribe is an agent that listens in group chats for links, and synthesizes them into a high-signal digest sent on a schedule. It was inspired by me and my friends always sharing links to interesting things, with us missing most of the links because it's tough to keep track of that information. Scribe is currently available on Telegram (in alpha).
Audience Reach
10 per month (we are currently in alpha)
Target Users
Small, close-knit groups that share interesting information that can be curated into high-signal, low-noise digests people can subscribe to to keep updated. Think discord channels, etc.
Technologies
Neo4j, Bright Data, Algolia
Traction Evidence
None for now — still in alpha
