Playground by SI is a web-based hub for creating and distributing sports video content. Its in-house AI and machine-learning models analyze live video, audio, and commentary to identify moments and create highlights in real time; it also supports non-live content. Teams can assemble packages using prompts or preset editorial rules, then reframe clips into vertical 9:16, square 1:1, and horizontal 16:9 formats. Natural-language search draws on video, audio, commentary, metadata, and contextual cues to find clips. A cloud dashboard gives teams role-based access to search, review, edit, publish, and manage content. The product is designed to work with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and cloud-based digital asset management systems. Outputs include match highlights, player and key moments, promos, short-form videos, reels, and match recaps, for destinations such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, OTT, social, and broadcast. SI says it has experience across more than 25 sports, including football, cricket, hockey, and basketball. Playground is paid, with pricing on request; the company describes a global delivery model with 24×7 worldwide operations and continuous support.
