Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Slang.ai is a verifiable, high-growth Series A company (raised ~$28M from investors like Homebrew and Stage 2 Capital) that provides AI-powered phone concierge services for restaurants and retail. Despite the low-quality submission (incorrect name 'BlazeWing', lack of provided data), external validation confirms strong product-market fit, significant traction (200+ paying customers, 6x revenue growth in 2022), and excellent market timing with the rise of Voice AI. The score reflects the high utility and proven business model, heavily penalized only in the 'Response Quality' section due to the poor input data.
