The AI commissioner for office pools

The Commish is the AI helper in every Breakroom Pick'em league. It builds each week's pick sheet, looks up the final scores, writes the Monday memo and answers questions about your league. The Captain, who is a person, can correct anything it does.

What it does in a week

  1. It drafts the sheet. Paste a schedule, upload a screenshot, or type what you want, such as "all NFL games plus Nebraska," "Serie A matches in Italy" or "this week's golf tournament." It drafts the sheet and shows where it looked. For a golf tournament or a race it writes a question on who wins and adds head-to-heads between players. The Captain approves it.
  2. The clock locks the picks. Every game locks at its own kickoff. That part is a clock and not an AI, so nobody can talk it into a late pick.
  3. It grades the finals. It looks up the final scores and results, shows the pages it read and fills in the sheet. The Captain confirms with one tap.
  4. It writes the Monday memo. Who won the week, who went out on a limb, who gets the Wooden Spoon. Pick the voice: office memo, sports radio, halftime speech or nature documentary.
  5. It answers the group. Ask how the tiebreaker works or who's leading. It knows your league's rules and standings.

Autopilot

On Varsity and Franchise, the Commish can run on autopilot: it drafts the sheet and grades the games by itself, and the league posts to your chat when the sheet is up and when the week is final. On Huddle it does the same work when the Captain asks. Autopilot is a switch. Leave it off if you'd rather confirm everything yourself.

Where it isn't allowed to go

  • No odds, lines or point spreads. There are none anywhere in the product.
  • No betting advice. It won't talk odds.
  • No money talk. Betting and prize language is filtered out of league names, questions and memos.

When it's wrong

It's an AI, and it can be wrong about a schedule or a score. So every grade shows the pages it read, a Captain can fix any line with one tap, and the Captain's log shows who changed what and when. The Captain is always the last word.

What it runs on

The Commish is built on Claude, made by Anthropic. When a league uses the AI features, league details such as names, picks and standings are sent to it to do that job. Players never need an account with anyone.

After the first year

Every plan includes the Commish for 12 months. After that the Captain can keep it for another year ($20, $40 or $75, depending on the plan) or run the league by hand for free. By hand means you paste the schedule and tap the winners yourself. Nothing renews by itself.

Questions

What if the AI gets a score wrong?

You can fix it. Every score the Commish enters shows the pages it read, and the Captain can change any result with one tap. The Captain's log shows who changed what and when. If you'd rather check everything yourself, leave autopilot off.

What AI is the Commish?

It runs on Claude, made by Anthropic. When a league uses the AI features, league details like names, picks and standings are sent to it so it can write the memo or answer the question. It isn't used for ads, and I don't sell data.

Does the Commish give betting tips?

No. There are no odds, point spreads or betting advice anywhere on the site. The Commish answers questions about your league, like how the tiebreaker works or who's in first.

Can I run the league without the AI?

Yes. Paste or type the schedule and the sheet gets built from it. Tap the winners when the games end. The standings, the awards and a basic Monday memo still happen on their own. That's how a league runs for free after the first year.

Which sports can we pick?

Anything with a winner. The Commish can look up schedules for the NFL, college football, the NBA, college basketball, the NHL and Major League Baseball, soccer in England, Spain, Italy and Germany (the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga), and the week's golf tournament, tennis tournament, car race or fight card. A golf week is a question on who wins the tournament, plus head-to-heads between players. Anything else you can type or paste in: another league, an awards night, the office chili cook-off.
