- It is an AI system that can provide experts with tactical insights, particularly on corner kicks (football), through predictive and generative AI.
- This AI tool can be used by football team managers as an assistant for tactics.

Why specifically corners?
- Corner kicks are apt for strategising by leveraging AI tools, primarily because they are moments when the game is effectively frozen — and always starts from the same kind of position at the corner of the pitch while giving players an immediate opportunity to score.
- Strategies for corners are usually also decided long before the players actually go on to the pitch, so that there is no confusion on match day.
- What is a corner shot in football? A corner is awarded when the ball passes over the goal line after touching a player of the defending team.
Q1: What is Predictive artificial intelligence (AI) ?
