Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission makes highly unsupported and exaggerated claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone'. While the core idea of simplifying machine learning APIs is valid, the lack of verifiable metrics, technical details, and realistic traction data results in a very low proof of usefulness score reflecting minimal verified traction.

Description
Telepath is the world's most developer-friendly machine learning platform. Build custom models and deploy real-time prediction APIs in minutes, no AI/ML experience necessary. We think that the learning curve for machine learning is way too steep. As a result, non-data scientist developers avoid building products that depend on machine learning algorithms. Telepath aims to unlock the power of machine learning for every developer so they can build smarter and more powerful products.
