Last Friday at the MLP Finals, a semifinal rally ended with the ball at rest on the sideline near the corner. The officials sent it to review.

Nobody's eyes could tell you which side of the line it finished on, or by how much, except for OWL's.

Call it in the comments: in or out, and how close. ↓

The answer is pinned below.

All summer, OWL kept eyes on the X Games League, every event, every run.

We read what a score can't hold: the height, speed, and hang time behind each trick, captured live. 🦉

See you in the snow...

How do you measure a skateboard run while it's still happening?

Four frames: capture, read, measure, deliver — as OWL reads Gui Khury's run at X Games Sacramento in real time.

The run becomes numbers the moment it happens.

New Orleans is next: July 24–26.

10.8 feet above the coping 🦉 the biggest airs of X Games vert, measured — not estimated.

Soya Inomata's 10.8 led the whole weekend, men's or women's. Swipe for the full ranking — every number a real OWL read, captured live from the ramp.

Never Miss.

Everyone kept asking about the iPhones on top of the ramp 👀

Those were OWL's.

Each one's an OWL capture rig. Mounted on top of the vert ramp, they read every run as it happens: how high the air was, how long riders hung, how fast they moved. Live, straight to the booth.

When everyone sees the same moment the same way, athletes compete, judges decide, and fans watch with the same confidence.

No truck. No special sensors. Just consumer hardware and the OWL platform.

Never Miss. 🦉

Why don't smaller sports get instant replay, scoring graphics, and judging tech? Because that infrastructure has always cost more than an emerging league can carry.

At MIT Sloan, our key AI advisor Josh Gwyther explained what changes that: cameras only. no sensors, no special hardware. The intelligence does the rest, so any sport can look broadcast-grade — a league you've never heard of starting to look like the NFL.

This is Live Video Intelligence. Never Miss the Moment. 🦉

Two seconds in the air. The score lives in one frame.

The rotation, the axis, the landing — decided too fast to be sure of from the outside. So we read the moment itself: the body, the cameras, and the call, converging on one answer, live.

The invisible, made undeniable. That's Live Video Intelligence.

Never Miss.🦉

Jay Prasad is OWL's new CEO.

Jay joins OWL after leading Relo Metrics as CEO, following leadership roles as Chief Strategy Officer at LiveRamp and founding executive at VideoAmp — a career scaling category-defining platforms where media, data, and AI meet.

Josh Gwyther, who led OWL from launch through its first leagues and national broadcasts, becomes a key AI advisor. Jeremy Bloom continues as Founder & Executive Chairman.

We started with a gap no one had closed: every sports and media company wants more from live content, and the technology to truly understand it live didn't exist. Now it does. The proving ground is live sport, where the standard is the pros. But it reaches well beyond the field.

Never Miss.🦉

We spent a day building a multi-camera rig for a single skateboarder. To train AI that judges action sports honestly, we don't start with the AI.

Andy Macdonald at YMCA Mission Valley, San Diego. Tricks landed across four hours, captured at broadcast frame rate across a multi-angle camera array. Every trajectory labeled at the frame level to become training data for OWL's 3D trajectory model.

Apex height. Air time. Entry angle. Spin axis. Body-board orientation through compression. Every measurement that's traditionally been judged subjectively in action sports is now a labeled signal.

Andy isn't being measured. He's the standard. The model learns from the way he defines a clean trick.

The judgment problem in action sports has always been that the cameras see what athletes already know. To close that gap, you start with the athletes.

We don't measure pros. We learn from them. 🦉

Owl AI has been named one of Sports Business Journal's 10 Most Innovative Sports Tech Companies.

When the platform first launched, scoring turnaround in elite competition took six to eight minutes. Today it's seconds. That gap is the difference between an officiating tool and a real-time engine for judging, coaching, and broadcast.

From CEO Josh Gwyther:
"Every day I get an email from somebody who has read about the company — whether they're an engineer, or still in school, or very far in their career. It usually starts with 'I was a pro this or a pro that… but now I'm an economist or AI engineer, and I never thought I'd be able to combine the two.' It's really inspiring to get those emails."

Thank you to the partners at X Games, Major League Pickleball, and SuperMotocross

Not even a year in. The roadmap from here is the exciting part. 👀
