Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Utilize.app is a legitimate no-code platform that converts spreadsheets into mobile applications, operating in a valid but highly competitive market (competing with Glide, AppSheet). However, the submission is severely undermined by the demonstrably false claim that "most people have used my product," which contradicts the reality of it being a niche B2B tool with limited visibility. While the core utility of creating apps from data is valuable, the lack of verifiable significant traction, combined with low-quality, hyperbolic response data, results in a low score. The project appears to be a small-scale or early-stage venture rather than the ubiquitous platform claimed.

Description
From punch cards to Javascript, the way software is created has fundamentally been the same. We have been translating business logic into a set of complex instructions (code) for a computer to understand. This creates a huge learning barrier to create and maintain software. Utilize aims to reduce this gap between “what to code” \u0026 “how to code” by making software creation as easy as writing specifications. Our mission is to create a new category of 10 million software makers by enabling them with the right \"no-code\" tools.
