“South Florida Sports Trivia”
SunBurnedSportsGenius 305
“You want to build a trivia bot for a market where half the fans moved here from somewhere else and don't care.”
An AI-powered trivia agent covering the Heat, Dolphins, Marlins, Panthers, Inter Miami, and historical South Florida sports moments, with adaptive difficulty and real-time stat verification.
This is textbook EMBARRASSINGLY_EASY because the core tech is trivial — RAG over sports data plus a quiz engine. The South Florida geo-niche is cute but thin; your TAM is 6 million people, half of whom are transplant Yankees fans who will fight you about it. The only interesting version of this is live in-stadium or bar trivia with real-time scoring, and even that has been done.
