From “Lakers 102–98” to “Oscars Best Picture winner,” people crave bite‑sized, shareable moments at the speed of conversation. PlayByPlay AI is a text‑ and email‑driven service that parses your live‑event input—sports scores, award results, reality‑show cliffhangers—and returns the ideal meme or quote in seconds. No apps, no logins: just SMS or email, and the giphyable moment arrives in your inbox.
🔍 How It Works
User Input via SMS/Email
- You text “Giants 24–21 Chargers Q4” or email “Emmys lead host monologue” to the PlayByPlay AI address.
- Our gateway (Twilio for SMS, SendGrid for email) ingests the message and extracts keywords: teams, score, event phase.
Event Context & API Lookup
- A real‑time event parser identifies the game or TV show based on keywords and timestamp.
- It fetches metadata (key plays, trending hashtags, official highlight URLs) via sports and entertainment APIs.
Meme‑Moment Synthesis
- An AI engine cross‑references a library of meme templates, GIF snippets, and caption styles.
- It selects the clip or image that best matches the context (e.g., a “cursed face” GIF for a blown lead, a celebratory reaction for a game‑winning TD).
Delivery
- The service packages the chosen asset with a smart caption and sends it back via SMS MMS or email attachment/link.
- Optionally includes a Quick‑Share button for Twitter, Instagram, or WhatsApp.
