Basetopia: The Agentic House of Highlights for MLB fans

Inspiration

Keeping up with a baseball game can feel like a scavenger hunt—scrolling through social media for clips, catching bits on live TV, and digging through scattered post-game analyses. It’s chaotic and time-consuming.

That’s why we built Basetopia, an intelligent, all-in-one hub for baseball highlights and analysis. Think of it as an “agentic house of highlights”—where AI agents work behind the scenes to pull in video footage, generate expert-level breakdowns, and deliver real-time game recaps.

So instead of piecing together bits from everywhere, you get a streamlined, centralized experience right here.

What It Does

Basetopia is a web app that delivers ESPN-styled articles and video highlights of MLB games through three dedicated tabs:

• Feed: Displays all automatically generated articles paired with video highlights, ensuring fans always have access to the latest content.
• Explore: Allows users to search for their favorite players or teams, providing a curated collection of relevant articles and highlights.
• Agent: Empowers fans to generate customized articles and video highlights based on specific interests, with the option to share their creations with others.

By continuously pulling the latest videos and generating tailored content via AI agents, Basetopia ensures that every fan receives accurate, up-to-date highlights and analysis in their preferred language (English, Spanish, and Japanese). This level of personalization meets the need for both detailed insights and ease of access, making it an attractive solution for the modern baseball fan.

How We Built It

• Frontend & Backend:

  • React: Powers our responsive and interactive user interface.
    
  • FastAPI: Efficiently handles our backend endpoints.
    
  • Firebase: Manages user authentication and serves as our database.

• AI-Powered Agents:

  • Vertex AI: Generates articles and video highlights, and translates content into Spanish and Japanese.
    
  • Baseball Agent: Developed with LangGraph and Gemini Flash 2.0, this agent uses structured tools (e.g., get_highlight_docs, get_team_highlights) to intelligently curate content based on team or player queries.
    
  • Tagging Agent: Leverages Vertex AI to extract and verify team and player IDs from post content, ensuring precise tagging.
    
  • Game Summary Cron Job: Continuously monitors MLB stats, processes new game data, and triggers Gemini to produce and translate comprehensive game summaries.

• Deployment:

  • Our API is deployed on Google Cloud Run, ensuring reliable scalability and performance.
