Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Snoooz AI is a verifiable, functional Out-of-Office management platform with confirmed accolades (Product Hunt #1, HackerNoon Startup of the Year) and SOC 2 compliance. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing critical data. External verification confirms a solid B2B niche product with valid utility and AI integration, but current scale is likely early-stage (implied by AppSumo deals) compared to the 'everyone' reach claimed. The score reflects the strong underlying product utility and verified traction signals, significantly penalized by the lack of direct evidence and effort in the submission.
