Snapp AI gives sports fans a place to ask how an injury, a lineup change or a trade might affect a game or their fantasy roster.

One injury report, a different game

An injury report tells you who might miss a game. Then comes the next question: Who takes their minutes, and what does that mean for the rest of the lineup? [1][4]

Snapp AI gives sports fans a place to ask about the news they just saw. Its Ask tab brings together game and player data, so a fan can start with a matchup and drill into what a lineup change might mean. [1][2]

Ask what changes on the court

Co-founder Shawn Tsao gave an example from basketball. A fan sees that a key player is doubtful, shares the injury report with Snapp and asks how the team’s rebounding outlook could change. [4]

Snapp can use past stats and the team’s rotation to explain how the remaining players might share the work. A fantasy player can ask a similar question about a trade and what a new team might mean for a player on their roster. [1][4]

Bring your league into the question

Fantasy players can connect an ESPN, Yahoo or Sleeper league so Snapp can consider the actual roster and scoring settings. A question about a player can then start with who is already on the user’s team. [1][2]

From the sports feed to the follow-up

Tsao, Andrew Tamura, Min Park and Alex Marshall founded Snapp in 2025. Tsao previously co-founded Caviar. Snapp joined a16z speedrun’s sixth cohort with a sports feed that let fans dig further into a story through analytics. [3]
