Spiideo Launches AI Highlights, Transforming Every Game Into Story-Driven Content at Scale
Malmö, Sweden – [May 5, 2026] – Spiideo, the global leader in sports video, today announced the launch of AI Highlights inside Spiideo Play.
Spiideo Play is an automated production platform that enables live game coverage as a fully automated production, a complementary layer to existing broadcast workflows, or a hybrid of both; giving leagues, broadcasters, and rights holders flexible, scalable production at every level of sport. AI Highlights is the latest addition to Spiideo Play, extending its automation capabilities from live production into automated highlight and clip creation.
Unlike traditional highlight tools that rely solely on rule-based clipping, AI Highlights combines video, event data, audio commentary, and contextual understanding to generate dynamic, story-driven content tailored for different audiences and platforms.
With AI Highlights, we’re moving into true storytelling at scale. Every game has multiple narratives: what happened, who defined it, and the context for why it mattered.
“Until now, creating those stories has required significant manual effort. AI Highlights changes that by turning every game into multiple, ready-to-publish clips and stories automatically, tailored to different audiences and platforms. We were thrilled to work with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center and combine both of our AI capabilities and deep expertise in sports video to build something that is not just powerful, but practical and scalable for leagues, broadcasters, and rights holders around the world,” said Patrik Olsson, Co-Founder and CEO of Spiideo.
From Highlights to Storytelling
Manual highlight production remains time-consuming, resource-intensive, and difficult to scale across competitions. AI Highlights addresses this by automatically generating multiple narratives from a single game, including:
• Game Recap
• Home Team Story
• Away Team Story
• MVP Story
• Halftime Highlights
By understanding context, such as player identity, season trends, game state, scoreline, and commentary, AI Highlights delivers content that captures not just what happened, but why it matters to fans.
Built for Modern Sports Media Workflows
AI Highlights is designed for leagues, federations, broadcasters, production companies, and OTT platforms looking to scale content output while maintaining editorial quality.
As part of Spiideo Play, AI Highlights slots directly into the production pipeline, ensuring that every game generates publish-ready content without additional tooling or manual effort.
Key capabilities include:
• Story-first highlight generation across multiple formats and audiences
• Automated and live workflows to publish-ready clips and reels
• Editorial control, allowing users to review, edit, and refine AI-generated narratives
• Multi-format output, optimized for both broadcast and social distribution
• As an add-on to Spiideo Play, AI Highlights integrates seamlessly into existing production workflows, eliminating the need for third-party tools or manual processes.
Built with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center
AI Highlights was developed in collaboration with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center, leveraging advanced AI models and cloud infrastructure to deliver scalable, high-performance content generation using Amazon Bedrock Foundation Models and AWS Step Functions.
Availability
AI Highlights will be available starting May 5, 2026, with initial support for soccer, ice hockey, basketball and handball.
