Four things your AI can do with your poker nights
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.
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.
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.
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.

Free and Pro
Same account. Same plan rules as the app.
On a free account, the AI can tell you about your own results. Comparing players, like head-to-head records or finding your nemesis, needs Host Pro, just as it does in the app. Games you import count toward your account's plan the same way as games you host. Plans are bought in the iPhone or Android app. See pricing.
Privacy and control
You stay in charge of your 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.
- Disconnect any time in the web app: Settings → Connected apps.
AI can misread a record. Check amounts owed against HG Poker before anyone pays. Details: Privacy Policy, section 7.
