PlayIQ Update: Major Improvements to AI Tracking

Hello Reader ,

We launched our beta back in January. There was a buzz surrounding the launch. Although we were excited we discovered an issue early on- the AI tracking for high school film had major issues. We started working on a fix and we thought we could get it rolled out in a couple weeks, make the update and keep moving.

We were wrong.

Here we are several weeks later rolling out an update. See, the problem was, we grossly miscalculated how many high school coaches would pay for our product. So over the course of the year of development, we put little focus and energy into high school film. For that I do apologized and I have issued refunds for a lot of people. Obviously, we are all learning together.

Thank you to everyone that is still rocking with us. We are still working extremely hard to change the way football coaches prepare week to week. Here is what to expect in the next update that is rolling out in the next 48 hours:

Updated AI Tracking

To be clear, this will still not be perfect, but for high school coaches you will see a huge improvement. Remember, everything is still under construction. You should see incremental improvements as we are able to study how user use PlayIQ, and things coaches want to add or change.

So this means you will also be able to send us messages. We want and need your feedback to improve PlayIQ. As you may or may not already know, I have a high standard of excellence, but we need your help to get us there.

At the end of the day, the better you can help us, the better PlayIQ will be, and it all benefits you, the coach.

What Film Can Be Used?-Tutorials Are Rolling Out

If you have been with us long enough, you know the hardest part of developing all this, is our AI tracking model. This is what helps make those scout cards instantly, you can use the AI tracking overlay to better analyze film, track player speeds, etc.

Our goal is to make an AI tracking model that doesn’t require any special equipment. So you can use any 11on11 game film with PlayIQ. The biggest issue and variable that affect the user experience is the quality of the film.

High school film has the biggest issues. The main problem is the quality of the film (shaky, blurry, etc.) condition of the field itself, and the angle the film is at. We highly recommend film that is of good quality, and a relatively high angle, and on a field that is not torn to shreds. However, this will improve over time.

If you have read this far, I want to personally thank you. If you want to reach out to me personally, I am going to leave my email at the bottom.
Thank you for your constant support.
