Future Updates (Coming Soon)

Version 0.9.4 - January 6, 2026

  • New "Situational Analyst" Engine: The AI now parses your question into a structured game state (outs, runners, play type) before searching the rulebook. This ensures it understands the specific baseball context rather than just matching keywords.
  • "Rules Committee" Adjudication Layer: Implemented a multi-step reasoning process. Instead of just summarizing the first result found, the AI now reviews the top candidates, scores them based on relevance to the specific game situation, and selects the single best rule before answering.
  • 2025 Rulebooks Live: Fully updated and indexed the 2025 NCAA and 2025 MLB (OBR) rule sets.
  • Indexing Optimization: Rewrote the database ingestion engine to use bulk processing, significantly improving the speed and reliability of rulebook updates.
  • Question Databasing: Rewrote the database SQL to track questions and answers for neural network developement.
  • User Feedback Scoring System: Added scoring system for neural network development. This allows users to give the ai feedback in which it can learn from.
  • Multiquery response: Reworked the multiquery response to be a chain of thought prompt, this allows everything to be in one API call.
  • Error system: Reworked the error system to allow for timeouts and overuse
