Gaining Momentum

The project 'Snoooz' (submitted as StarKeeper/ooomaker) is a verified AI email assistant with real-world utility, evidenced by a 2023 Hackernoon award and AppSumo deals. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, featuring a patently false traction claim ('most people have used my product') and missing data. While the underlying technology and market timing are promising, the score is heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided by the submitter and the exaggerated reach claims.
