What it does

Roots is an AI basketball trainer built for youth athletes that makes quality coaching accessible to every player, not just those who can afford it. Visual-first feedback: we translate data into clear visuals that actually make sense to athletes, not just coaches. Biomechanical analysis: feedback personalized to your body and your game, not a generic template. Closes the loop: understands what you need to fix and guides you through it. No scheduling, no equipment, train whenever you want.

Install the Roots iOS beta on TestFlight and get AI shooting feedback from your phone.

Open the Roots iOS beta in TestFlight and start training from your phone. Upload a clip and see which pro you shoot like — then get coached on the gaps. Get graded on your shot and see exactly what's costing you points. See your improvement over time — week, month, or your whole career. Film a quick shot or upload a full session straight from your phone. AI grades your shot, finds what's off, and tells you what to fix first. Watch your numbers move. Know what's working and what still needs reps. Install the beta, run a session, and help shape what gets builtfrom withroots.org

  • Hooper – AI-driven stats and highlights for basketball play2024 · hooper.gg · ▲124

    Hey everyone, OP here. Wanted to share a bit more about Hooper — I started building it with a good friend of mine six months ago. We play a lot of pickup together and were arguing about who has a better jump shot and ended up hacking together an app to settle it The way Hooper works is you can record yourself using the app and ideally a tripod (optional). The app will track everyone, whether its a solo practice, a 3v3, or a 5v5. We think there’s a lot of stuff out there for basketball drills but what we really wanted Hooper to be for is actual game play. That means, it can do things like…
