Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The submission contains major red flags, including extreme hyperbole ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and a lack of concrete metrics for active users or conventional revenue. While AI-based shopping discovery is a valid market, the complete lack of verifiable traction, vague technical details, and poor submission quality place this project well below the zero threshold.
