XCIV.ai is the AI coaching workflow built for basketball. Scout opponents faster. Generate game plans tailored to your team. Turn scouting into practice plans that target what actually matters this week. The more you use it, the more it sounds like your program — not a generic basketball template. WHAT IT DOES SCOUT — Capture opponent rosters and box scores with your camera. Record voice notes during games and watch them organize into tendency tags automatically. Build a persistent opponent database your assistants can contribute to. PLAN — Generate game plans from your scouting data: game identity, key matchups, intelligence cards, coach's summary. Edit any section. Export cleanly for game-day printing. PRACTICE — AI-generated practice plans and individual player development programs. Drill libraries with video links. Connect what happened Saturday to how you practice Monday. EXECUTE — Game-day exports, pre-game cheat sheets, post-game stat capture that feeds the next scouting cycle. Every game gets smarter than the last. BUILT FOR COACHES XCIV.ai personalizes to you. Five short setup questions tell the AI how YOU coach — your offense, defense, practice structure, rotation, and values. Every plan after that reflects your system. Pack the paint? Push pace? Tight rotation? It's all in there. FREE TO START A full team workspace, scouting tools, and AI-generated plans available out of the box. Built by a coach. Designed for the four things every coach does every week: scout the opponent, plan the game, plan the practice, execute on game night.
