Austrian Agency Launches AI-Powered Sports Platform AhoiSports
Ahoi Kapptn!, a Linz-based digital agency, has launched AhoiSports, a modular AI-powered platform designed for professional sports organizations and clubs. The platform covers three core areas: fan engagement, commercial operations, and sport performance. It is built on an AI-first architecture with a central customer data platform (CDP) that gives clubs full control over their data. AhoiSports uses dynamic model routing to select the most cost-efficient LLM for each use case, and integrates with API-first partners like Vivenu for ticketing. The agency has over four years of experience in sports digital products, having worked with clients such as the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB), the Austrian Bundesliga, LASK, TSV 1860 Munich, and StadiumADS.
Niche product launch for sports organizations; relevant for MarTech within sports but not industry-shifting globally.
