Whether writing emails, summarizing complex subjects, planning a trip, or posing as a terrifying dystopian villain, artificial intelligence has become a real part of everyday life. Now it can even help you pick out a new racquet and hit a better forehand.
Founded in 2023 and based in Oslo, Norway, SportAI is a technology company specializing in AI-powered technique evaluation in racquet sports. Using tools like computer vision, machine learning, and biometric analysis, its app can examine a player’s swing and offer real-time detailed feedback without the need for expensive or specialized devices. You can record a video of your strokes in action and get insights on execution, including timing, movement efficiency, and power generation. Or compare your stroke against professionals to identify key areas of improvement.
“This technology means that anyone could compare their serve against Serena or their backhand against Djokovic,” says Lauren Pedersen, SportAI’s CEO. “It’s an incredible tool for both recreational players and professionals, giving insights that might otherwise go unnoticed.”
