Introducing Koba AI
Motivation and problem formulation
Professional sports desks already have dashboards. What they lack is an assistant that can (a) answer quickly between meetings, (b) run longer research when a narrative or deal moves, and (c) stay sponsorship- and brand-aware without collapsing into generic web chat. We formulate Koba as a mid-tier sports intelligence agent: tool-using, domain-specialized, and oriented to everyday professional workflows rather than only flagship scout-depth reasoning (that flagship stats tier is StatGost).
Architecture schematic (qualitative).
System architecture
Koba is positioned as “our most agentic mid-tier model yet, with top-tier intelligence for sports and everyday professional workflows.” Capability bullets on announcement: Quick Search; Deep Research; Sponsor Analytics; Brand Advisory; Live Dashboard. Koba is only available in Eagle Eye dashboards and products (for example Sponsorlytix and Dantani Sports surfaces where the agent is embedded). It is not offered as a standalone consumer app, and there is no separate public Koba product site for sign-up. Access is through the Eagle Eye suite products that include Koba.
Architecturally we treat Koba as an LLM agent with sports-domain tooling: search over sports/commercial corpora, deeper multi-step research, sponsorship-aware analytics calls, brand-advisory prompts grounded in measurement vocabulary, and a dashboard working surface for ongoing threads.

Data and methods
Koba reasons over sports, esports, sponsorship, and gaming professional topics. Grounding should prefer suite measurement and monitoring artifacts when the user has access, and clearly mark when answers are general knowledge vs retrieved evidence. We do not publish a model card with parameter counts, training mix, or public leaderboard scores in this article.

Comparison vs suite siblings
| Dimension | Koba | StatGost | Dantani dashboard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary interface | Agentic chat / workflows | Stats-first flagship reasoning | Monitoring UI |
| Strength | Search → research → advisory | Player/league/finance/sponsor stats | SoV / AVE / partner packs |
| Tier language | Mid-tier agentic | Flagship | Platform product |
| Availability | Only inside Eagle Eye dashboards & products | Eagle Eye suite positioning | Live Dantani / suite surfaces |
Evaluation table
| Metric | Definition | Unit | Protocol | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Task success (desk tasks) | Human-rated completion of sports desk tasks | % pass | Internal rubric, blinded raters | Internal eval — contact sales |
| Citation faithfulness | Claims supported by retrieved snippets | % | Claim–evidence audit | Internal eval — contact sales |
| Tool routing accuracy | Correct tool selected for intent | % | Intent suite | — |
| Time-to-useful-answer | Latency to first actionable paragraph | s | Operational sampling | — |
| Sponsorship term precision | Correct use of inventory / rights terms | % | Domain glossary checks | Internal eval — contact sales |
Limitations and failure modes
- Hallucinated transfer or injury facts when tools are skipped or corpora are stale.
- Over-confident brand advice without measurement binds.
- Not a standalone product — Koba only runs inside Eagle Eye dashboards and products; there is no separate Koba login or public demo site.
- Mid-tier ≠ weak: positioning is about workflow breadth and cost/latency tradeoffs vs flagship StatGost, not a claim of inferior sports knowledge in every subtask.
Safety and responsible use
Agentic sports assistants can spread rumour, medical speculation, or market-moving claims. We expect refusal / caution patterns around minors, unverified medical data, and non-public deal terms. Tool outputs that look like measurement should be labeled as such; narrative advice should not be presented as Sponsorlytix-certified brand value.
What’s next / availability
Koba is available only inside Eagle Eye dashboards and products. There is no standalone Koba app and no plan announced here for a separate public Koba site. Use Koba where it is embedded in suite products (Sponsorlytix, Dantani Sports, and related Eagle Eye surfaces), or contact sales for product access that includes Koba.
