Not intelligent
The app gave me the advice to drop Josh Jacobs even though we don’t know the outcome of his trial or what his suspension will ultimately look like. That recommendation highlights the biggest weakness I’ve found with the app: it seems to rely heavily on a raw data source without applying enough context or intelligent reasoning to the situation.
Fantasy football decisions aren’t made in a vacuum. A player can have little or no current projected value and still be worth holding because of his potential future value, the uncertainty surrounding his status, your roster construction, waiver position, league format, and the quality of available replacements.
Telling someone to outright drop a potentially valuable player before the uncertainty is resolved is very different from saying, “His current projection is low, but given the upside and uncertainty, holding him may be the smarter move if you have the roster space.”
That is the distinction I expect an AI fantasy assistant to make.
Right now, it often feels less like an intelligent fantasy manager and more like a chatbot sitting on top of rankings and projections. I can get rankings anywhere. What I need from an AI tool is the ability to interpret those rankings, understand risk and uncertainty, remember the context of my league and roster, and make recommendations accordingly.
An AI fantasy assistant should help me think through a decision not simply repeat what the underlying data says.

Can only attach one platform
Connected to my ESPN account upon startup of the app just fine. When I go to profile to link my Sleeper and Yahoo accounts, both links only open up new windows saying that they’re going to go to their respective site but nothing happens and the only button I can click on in that window is the cancel button. Worked my way through a long list of troubleshooting tips that I won’t bother to duplicate here and nothing worked. One caveat: I am blind and I navigate my various mobile devices with voiceover so it may be a voiceover integration problem with the FantasyBot app.
Outside of this, the app seems really good so far. The ChatGPT plug-in for FantasyBot integrates very well and makes this app easy to use. The important thing to remember is that this is just advice. You still have to do the homework if you want to really use this tool to its best effect. For competitors and sharps it’s amazing if you’re running multiple leagues and it seems like it could help streamline a lot of your moves. For home leaders and casuals this can up your game considerably, especially if you don’t have time to do the homework through listening to podcast or reading extensive articles on different websites. Five stars for the one league that it does work for -3 stars for the other two platforms that it doesn’t

Sorry about that, and thanks for flagging it. Email me at support@fantasybot.ai and I can either walk you through connecting your other two leagues or just get them linked on my end, Sleeper included. Sounds like our connect flow isn't accessible enough as it stands. I'll take a look at what it would take to fix that properly.
I think this app needs allot of improvement
Some of your strategies are insane. Makes absolutely no sense. He wanted me to trade for a fourth quarterback Daniel jones as a back up on a team that was auto drafted for me and already had Mahomes, Kyler Murray, and Joe Burrow starting. I needed to get rid of a quarterback and get rb or we help and he wanted me to get another quarterback to make 4 on my roster

You're right, that shouldn't happen. It's a bug and we're on it. If you email support@fantasybot.ai with your league I'll dig into your exact case.
Bad advice
Bad advice immediately made a move to add the person’s recommended then it said to drop him the next move. Waste of time and money
Response from developer
You're right, that was a bug on our end, not the advice we meant to give. Fix is in progress and going out shortly. If you want me to look at your league, email support@fantasybot.ai
Great App!
This app has been awesome!
Response from developer
Thank you, i'm glad to hear it's been helpful!
Runs my fantasy team now
This app has been great. I used it and feel like I had the best draft in my league. I’m excited to see what it can do during the season.
Great app
I love it can’t wait to use to win my season the yahoo and espn work great
No Yahoo Support
FantasyBot claims Yahoo support, but I cannot find evidence establishing when that support last actually worked. Nor can I find documentation of the supposed Yahoo outage.
Response from developer
Thanks for the honest feedback, you were right to call it out. Yahoo is reconnected as of today. Close the app fully and reopen it so it grabs the new connection, then connect your Yahoo league and it should pull in. Let me know if it doesn't.
