The AI assistant
The assistant is the chat bubble in the bottom-right corner of the admin app. You ask for what you want in your own words; it looks the answer up in your tournament, and — for anything that would change data — it shows you the change first and waits.
Asking a question
Open it from any screen. It already knows which tournament you are in, so "which pitches are we playing on?" means this tournament, not a guess.
It reads the same data the screens show, through the same rules: teams, categories, groups, matches, standings, pitches, venues, clubs, players, brackets and registrations. If something cannot be answered from your data, it says so instead of inventing an answer.
Questions that tend to be quicker than clicking:
- Which matches are still unplayed?
- Who is top of each group in the oldest age category?
- Which teams have no contact email?
- What is unpublished on the schedule right now?
Asking for a change
The assistant can also do the work: add teams, fix a score, rename a pitch, open registration, generate a knockout bracket, run the scheduler, publish.
Nothing is written when you ask. The assistant turns the request into a proposal and stops:
- The card names the change and lists every field it would write, with the current value beside the proposed one for an edit.
- Accept applies it. Reject declines it and nothing is touched.
- A change to several rows at once arrives as one card. Accept all of it, pick the rows you want, or edit individual entries before accepting.
- Deletions say how many records go and that it cannot be undone.
Until you decide, the message box is locked — the decision belongs on the card, not in another sentence of chat.
What it cannot do
The assistant works through the same API as the admin screens, as you, scoped to your organization. It cannot reach another organizer's tournaments, and it cannot do anything your own account is not allowed to do. Publishing still costs what publishing costs: if a tournament needs payment before it goes public, the assistant hands you the checkout link rather than working around it.
It also never acts twice on its own. A rejected proposal stays rejected until you ask again.
Good habits
Name things the way the app does — a category or a team name is enough, and where several teams share a name it will ask which one you mean rather than guess.
Read the card, not the sentence above it. The card is what will be written.
Keep one request to one job. "Add these eight teams" works; "add these eight teams, then reschedule Saturday and email everyone" is three decisions stacked into one answer.
The assistant is being rolled out gradually, so the chat bubble is not on every account yet. If you do not see it and want it turned on, get in touch.
