How to Use AI Brackets

Welcome to AI Brackets - the revolutionary March Madness app that makes bracket creation accessible to everyone! Whether you're a basketball expert or have never watched a game in your life, our AI-powered platform has something amazing for you. Let's dive into all the incredible features that make AI Brackets so special!

Watch this quick video tutorial to see AI Brackets in action and learn how to make the most of all its features!

Creating your bracket is simple and fun! Start by clicking on teams in each matchup to advance them through the rounds. As you make selections, the bracket automatically updates to show your picks advancing all the way to the championship.

Not sure who to pick? No worries! We offer several AI-powered tools to help:

• Expert Pick Filler: With one click, our AI can fill out your entire bracket based on expert basketball knowledge and statistical analysis. Perfect for when you want competitive picks but don't have time to research every matchup!
• Preference-Based Predictions: Tell our AI your preferences (like favoring underdogs or preferring teams with strong defense), and it will customize your bracket accordingly. It's like having a personal bracket consultant!
• Reset Button: Made too many changes? Simply hit reset to start fresh with a clean bracket. Learn more about resetting brackets.

This is where AI Brackets truly revolutionizes the bracket experience! Not interested in basketball? No problem! Our custom genre feature lets you transform your bracket into ANY topic you're passionate about.

Here's how it works:

1. Click the "Create Custom Genre" button
2. Enter your preferred topic (e.g., "Best Pixar Movies," "Greatest Rock Bands," "Fantasy Novel Characters")
3. Our AI instantly transforms the entire bracket, replacing basketball teams with entries from your chosen genre!

The best part? You can toggle between your custom genre and the original basketball teams at any time! This means you can make picks based on what you know (movies, music, etc.) while still participating in a basketball bracket pool with friends.

Once you've completed your bracket, AI Brackets offers powerful analysis tools to evaluate your picks:

• Round-by-Round Analysis: Get detailed AI commentary on each round of your bracket, highlighting potential upsets, smart picks, and risky choices.
• Bracket Roast: For the brave souls! Let our AI humorously critique your bracket with witty observations and playful jabs. It's fun, entertaining, and might even offer some insights!
• Individual Pick Analysis: Click on any matchup to get specific insights about why one team might have an advantage over another.
• AI-Powered Matchup Analysis: Our system uses deep research on this year's top 100 teams to feed into the AI-based analysis of each basketball matchup, providing you with expert-level insights even if you're new to the sport.

Proud of your bracket? Share it with the world! Or if you prefer to keep it private, you can save it without sharing.

• Share Link: Generate a unique URL that anyone can use to view your exact bracket. Perfect for sharing with friends, family, or on social media!
• Save Button: Save your bracket to your device without generating a share link. Your bracket will be stored locally and accessible from the "My Brackets" page. Learn more about saving.
• Invite to Edit: Create a special invite link that allows others to edit your bracket. This is especially powerful for custom genre brackets! You can even name your invite to create custom tournament pools. Learn more about named invites.
• Download Image: Save a high-quality image of your bracket to post anywhere or print out for your office pool.
• My Brackets: When you share or save a bracket, it's automatically saved locally on your device. Access all your saved brackets anytime by clicking "My Brackets" in the navigation bar.

When someone views your shared bracket, they'll see all your picks exactly as you made them. They can even toggle between basketball teams and any custom genre you created!

The reset button allows you to start fresh with a clean bracket. This is especially useful when:

• Viewing a shared bracket: When you open someone else's shared bracket, it's locked for editing. Clicking the reset button unlocks it and lets you create your own version.
• Working with custom genres: If you're viewing a shared custom bracket and want to fill out your own picks, simply hit the reset button to start fresh while keeping the same genre.
• Starting over: Made too many mistakes or want to try a different strategy? Reset gives you a clean slate.

• Multiple Genres: Create different custom genres to view your bracket through multiple lenses. Try "Best Fast Food Chains" and then switch to "Superhero Movies" for a fresh perspective!
• Preference Combinations: Experiment with different preference combinations for unique brackets. Try "I love underdogs" + "I prefer teams with experienced coaches" to see what our AI recommends.
• First Four Games: Don't forget to make your picks for the First Four play-in games! These can be crucial for a complete bracket.
• Save Your Work: Use the share link feature to save different versions of your bracket as you experiment with different strategies.
• Named Invite Pools: Create custom tournaments for any occasion by using named invites. Perfect for office pools, family competitions, or friend groups. Learn more about named invites.
• My Brackets Collection: Create multiple brackets with different strategies and share them to build your collection in the "My Brackets" page. This makes it easy to compare different approaches and track which ones perform best.
