Gamecode. AI Debuts WhatsApp Chatbot to Help Clubs Scout Players

The tool turns club-specific tactical profiles into ranked player lists, video clips and price checks to speed scouting decisions without replacing human judgment.

Overview

  • Journalists were shown live demonstrations this week in which the chat‑bot answered tactical questions and produced concrete top‑five player rankings for club profiles.
  • Gamecode. AI says clubs in the Bundesliga, Premier League, Swiss league and MLS already use its system and can access the new WhatsApp assistant via the company’s cloud subscription.
  • The platform emphasizes off‑ball analysis — tracking movement, space recognition and gaze/direction — and draws on a large proprietary dataset the company describes as more than one billion data points.
  • For financial feasibility the bot incorporates third‑party market values from Transfermarkt.de and tailors recommendations to a club’s buying patterns and budget limits.
  • Founders highlight football experience at the company to set it apart and caution that the bot is a decision‑support tool that speeds filtering and video scouting but leaves character checks and final transfer deals to humans.
