Fanter.AI emerges from training camp to deliver a new experience for sports fans
An AI that can banter with fans about what will happen
July 10, 2024
BOCA RATON, Florida – Fanter.AI announces the launch of the first purpose-built AI for sports fans. The Fanter team has spent nearly a year training an artificial intelligence system that knows today’s sports and knows how to chat with fans. Unlike general AIs that can summarize the past, Fanter talks to fans about what will happen.
Fanter.AI puts AI at the center of a social platform. Instead of waiting for other fans to arrive, the Fanter AI is always on. Always ready to banter with fans about the biggest stories.
“AI has captured our imaginations but it hasn’t captured our hearts. People have been waiting to do more with AI than chat about boring stuff or summarize old things. We all love sports. So, it made sense to build an AI to create a winning experience for sports fans,” said Charles Benaiah, Founder of Fanter.AI.
Fans can scroll through a discovery feed to pick a question they want to chat about. Hot recent asks have focused on Did the Lakers make the right move drafting LeBron James’ son, Bronny? and Can England win its first UEFA European Championship? Fanter takes answering the big questions to the next level.
Fanter sits at the center of two of the most engaging industries – sports and AI. Fans in focus groups have been quick to embrace the new technology platform for sports. In early tests:
Fans bantered with Fanter six times per question
Fans spent an average of 13 minutes on each session
Anna O’Brien, Fanter’s head of fan and partner engagement said, “That’s the great thing about sports. Every day, in every market, about every team, there are big questions that matter to fans. So, impressive fan engagement is not a surprise. We’re in discussion with leading media companies, leagues, teams, and personalities to bring our solutions to their audiences.”
Fanter is at the forefront of the second wave of AI. Large language models (LLMs) laid down a foundation for general knowledge. An array of smart services like Fanter will add context and nuance that relate intelligence to certain audiences. Fanter is a full-stack AI company. Our engineers trained a custom AI and built a user interface to launch one of the smart services and the first AI for sports fans.
The conversation is just starting.
About Fanter.AI
Fanter.AI knows about sports and knows how to chat with sports fans about what will happen. General AIs summarize the past. Fans want to talk about the future. Hundreds or thousands of fans weigh in on each question. Like, “Who’s going to win?” Or, “Did we pick the right player.” Then, Fanter organizes all the inputs to write the fans’ story. It’s an AI that scales the classic call-in show to a massive multiuser level. Fanter. For sports fans. By sports fans. https://fanter.ai/
