Large language models don't stop at ChatGPT. Wimbledon now has its own AI. Here's how I used it to follow the tennis while at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix:
Step 1: Download the Wimbledon App → Available on iOS and Android → Free to use during the tournament
Step 2: Select any live match → All matches from Centre Court to Court 18 → Real-time data feeds from every game
Step 3: Click "Match Chat" → This opens IBM's WatsonX-powered AI assistant → Ask questions in natural language and get instant insights
My favourite prompts to try: • "Who has the faster serve?" • "Who's looking stronger in the first set?" • "What are the key factors deciding the match so far?"
What makes this powerful: → Live updates as each point is played → Millions of data points from human collectors → Personalised insights beyond basic scores → Context that helps you understand the match story
My takeaway: This is the future of sports consumption. @IBM's Match Chat, served up using watsonx Orchestrate, turns millions of data points into conversations anyone can understand. This is how AI should work: invisible yet exceedingly helpful.
I suspect every sport will have this within the next 5 years. It's made me more invested in the sport itself. When you understand what's really happening, you can't help but care more. #IBMPartner
