SMS-iT is a verifiable, functional SMS marketing platform with 'agentic AI' features and a presence on AppSumo/G2 (claiming ~21k business users). However, the project submission itself was extremely poor, containing hyperbolic falsehoods (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users) and lacking verifiable metrics. While the technology has utility for small businesses, the low-effort submission and questionable claims heavily penalized the final score.
