The Matchup: Game Previews With Your Prediction, in Your Voice
Big game coming up? Your clone builds a 16:9 preview that sets the stakes, breaks down the deciding factors and ends with your pick.
Landscape, vertical or square · Script and storyboard approval
The Matchup is the pregame video your audience looks for all week. Your clone opens with why this game matters now: stakes, timing, relevance. It covers the key personnel and storylines shaping it, from injuries to coaching narratives. Most of the video goes to the deciding factors, each a variable likely to swing the result and who it favors. Then it closes with a clear prediction.
Tell your clone the game. It researches form, injuries and matchups, writes a 3 to 8 minute script in your voice, plans scenes with images, motion graphics and AI clips, and adds voiceover, music and captions. You can appear on screen as an avatar and approve the storyboard before rendering, so the preview is ready well before kickoff.

The Matchup: questions, answered.
When should I ask for my preview?
A few days before the game works well. That leaves time to review the storyboard and lets you add late news, like an injury report, before your clone renders the final video.
Can I make the pick myself?
Yes. Tell your clone your pick and it builds the case for it. If you leave it open, your clone weighs the deciding factors and proposes a prediction you can change in review.
How is this different from Today's Picks?
The Matchup is a 16:9 preview of one game with storylines and deciding factors. Today's Picks is a fast vertical Short that walks a pick board market by market.
