    Four things your AI can do with your poker nights

    Chat answer listing 4 imported June nights with money in and counted, each checked01

    Bring your history in from anywhere

    Paste old games from your notes app or a spreadsheet, or share a photo of a paper scoresheet or a whiteboard. The AI asks about anything missing, spots games already in your account and shows a preview. Nothing is saved until you confirm, and the games become regular HG Poker games. Imported games count toward your account's plan the same way as games you host.

    June 4 @ Alex's: Alex in 40 out 75, Blair in 20 out 0…

    Here's the preview. Nothing is saved yet. June 4, Alex's place: $120 in, $120 counted, it balances.

    Chat answer comparing your results and Mike's on the 3 nights you played together02

    Ask what the app has no screen for

    Your games are all there, so ask the questions nobody can answer at the table: how you do when a certain player sits in, whether you're up since summer, which night of the week treats you best.

    How do I do when Mike's at the table?

    You've played 9 nights with Mike. You finished ahead in 6 of them, and you're up $45 on those nights.

    Chat answer with a tournament plan for 9 players: starting chips, four 20-minute levels and a break03

    Plan a tournament

    Tell it your player count and how long you have. It suggests the starting stack, blinds, levels and breaks, then creates the tournament for Room Display once you confirm.

    Plan a tournament for 9 players, 3 hours.

    Here's a 3-hour structure: 20-minute levels, one break after level 4. Nothing is created until you say yes.

    Chat answer summing up a cash game for 7 players and asking Start it? before anything is recorded04

    Run a game by chat

    Start a cash game, add a player, record a buy-in, cash someone out or end the night by typing it. The AI confirms each change before anything is recorded.

    Start a $20 cash game with Sam, Casey and Drew.

    Start a $20 cash game with Sam, Casey and Drew? Reply yes and I'll start it.

    Examples come from a demo account with made-up players. The AI's wording changes from chat to chat; the numbers come from your HG Poker records.

    • It reads your own account: games you host, plus your own results as a player.
    • It asks you to confirm before every change.
    • It can't delete anything.
    • What it reads goes to OpenAI or Anthropic under their privacy policy.
