Live sports insights
Decades of shot data, too slow to surface live. Now 49 AI agents deliver context to 17M patrons as each shot lands.
- 20k shots converted to insights per year
Manual workflows slowed fight insight to a crawl. AI now delivers storylines on demand, freeing analysts to narrate, not wrangle.
A global mixed martial arts promotion reaching 700 million fans across 210+ countries, producing 40+ live events annually with vast volumes of fighter performance data, historical matchups, and real-time statistics at every event.
Manual analytics workflows created a bottleneck between raw fight data and broadcast-ready insight, leaving analysts wrangling data instead of...

UFC's Sports analytics is part of this use case:
Related implementations across industries and use cases
Decades of shot data, too slow to surface live. Now 49 AI agents deliver context to 17M patrons as each shot lands.
A one-second delay was too slow for live sports. Cloud inference now delivers stats 10x faster, powering 60+ AI initiatives.
Rugby match data existed but never reached fans live. AI now turns it into 65+ on-screen insights per game, built and approved by analysts.
Answering 'mediums or hards?' once meant pulling an engineer for minutes. Now the whole field's tire feedback surfaces in a chat query.
Player data scattered across systems; every insight required manual work. Now coaches query 1,000+ data points per match in plain language.
Scaling AI access across a 100,000-employee workforce risked system overloads. An auto-scaling platform launched with zero downtime.
1M+ players flooded a Super Bowl puzzle chatbot. A real-time AI security layer absorbed the surge and blocked malicious prompt injections.
37 steps and 16 handoffs to send one email. Agents rebuilt the workflow from scratch — 3 weeks became 2 days.
Generic AI mangled chemistry terms; manual translation took months. Glossary-tuned AI now earns enough trust to publish before human review.
