Hooper

Hooper is an AI tool for basketball players, coaches, teams, and leagues. Users record or upload game or solo shootaround video with a smartphone, and Hooper's computer vision technology recognizes players and key game events, tracks detailed stats, and generates highlights and shot-by-shot analytics without special cameras or manual tagging. The page also describes AI mixtapes, player profiles that track progress over time, team and league plans with a web film room, a REST API and MCP server for building apps on top of Hooper's vision AI, and a partnership with SoftBank Corp. to bring AI technology to Japanese basketball. The FAQ states tracking and analysis are at 92% with the recommended setup, and recommends recording at a height of at least 5 feet.
