European Football Club Boosts Fan Engagement with GenAI
Zencore's Intelligent Chatbot on Google Cloud.
Boosting Fan Engagement with GenAI
A Professional European Football Club is dedicated to enhancing the experience of its loyal fanbase through innovative means. Recognizing the potential of modern Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and Large Language Model (LLM) solutions, the club embarked on a transformative journey to elevate fan engagement.
About the European Football Club
By leveraging Google Cloud Platform's cutting-edge technologies, the club aimed to revolutionize its online presence and create personalized interactions that resonate with fans on a deeper level.
The Challenge
Despite its strong fan following, the football club faces challenges in fully connecting with its audience in the digital realm. Traditional methods of engagement often fall short of capturing the diverse interests and preferences of fans. Addressing this gap requires a strategic approach that combines advanced AI capabilities with an intimate understanding of the club's unique identity and fan community.
Solution
The proposed solution entailed a multifaceted approach aimed at harnessing the power of GenAI and LLM to tailor interactions with fans in real-time. Through prompt engineering and customization, the club seeks to create an immersive online experience where fans can ask questions and receive relevant, personalized responses. This not only fosters a sense of connection and belonging but also drives increased engagement, leading to higher ticket sales and merchandise revenues.
Use Case Refining
- Collaborative workshops with Zencore to refine the project objectives and requirements.
- Identification of key user questions/tasks and relevant information for prompt customization.
- Customization of the GenAI model, including context creation and rule enforcement.
- Iterative refinement based on feedback, with adjustments to parameters for optimal performance.
- Deployment of the customized GenAI model within the club's Google Cloud environment.
- Provision of sample API codes for seamless integration into frontend, backend, and website services.
"The opportunity cost of deploying our product engineers on infrastructure work is almost always too high for our organization, regardless of how critical that work may be. Zencore supplies us with the experienced engineers we need to be able to respond
to these needs without cannibalizing the resources that are dedicated to our product roadmap."
