SmartPlay Caddie
Intelligent guidance
Real-time insight on the course — your bag, your tendencies and the shot in front of you, talked through hands-free, with swing and putting analysis from the phone in your pocket.
Our intelligent product ecosystem
One company, one engine, a family of products
Each product owns its activity and its own personality. What they share is the intelligence layer underneath — and the rule that a recommendation has to be explainable before it ships.
Beta
SmartPump
Smarter flow
Training that reads the set you just finished rather than the plan you wrote last month — load, effort and recovery shaping what comes next.
Preview — proposed, not prescribed
SmartManage
Manage with clarity
Unified intelligence for teams, operations and everyday complexity. The day's brief, what's overdue and what to do next — assembled before you ask for it.
Rondo
Connected experiences
Match and training intelligence for soccer — reading position, movement and decision patterns to coach the choice a player makes before the ball arrives.
Preview — the option, read early
PlaySmart
Play. Learn. Grow.
Recreation and lifestyle intelligence — the same engine pointed at how people spend their free time, and what would make it better.
One AI foundation. A growing family.
Every product is built on the same intelligence layer, so what one product learns about a person is available to the next one rather than starting over.
Human-centered
Designed for real people, in the moment they are deciding.
Privacy by design
Secure. Private. Responsible.
Smart Intelligence Engine
The platform claim, and what actually runs
Five reusable capabilities sit under the portfolio. Not a diagram drawn after the fact — each one is an abstraction of a component already shipping in SmartPlay Caddie.
CapabilityRunning today in SmartPlay Caddie
01
User Model
Player profiles and roster, per-swing history, round and score history, coach notes with attribution, and tendencies derived across sessions.
02
Context Engine
A GPS pipeline with outlier rejection, authoritative course geometry, satellite imagery — and a manual override the system respects without argument.
03
Decision Engine
A tiered reasoning cascade: a heavier model for substantive judgment, a fast one for routing, and a local pre-classifier ahead of both to cut latency and spend.
04
Learning Engine
Swing capture building a labeled dataset, tendencies mapped to drills, shot and score logging, session review — outcome capture as a product surface, not backend telemetry.
05
Interaction Engine
Press-to-talk voice with a locked brand narrator, camera swing analysis with skeletal overlay, and acoustic strike detection in a practice cage.
Evidence
What we can show you today
We keep this list because the difference between shipped and planned is the only claim that matters. Everything on the left can be demonstrated on a phone.
Working now
- A voice-first AI companion holding a conversation on a live golf course.
- Camera-based swing analysis producing body-analysis flags, biomechanics from keyframes, and swing-to-swing comparison against a reference.
- Acoustic swing detection and strike confirmation in a practice cage.
- Course-aware distance and targeting from real course geometry.
- Cross-platform beta distribution with real testers and a written handbook.
- A professional instructor using the product inside paid lessons.
Roadmap

What we are trying to be
CalmCapableAdaptive
HumanPremiumModern
Human first
AI augments people. It does not take the decision away from them.
Context matters
Intelligence is only useful when it understands the situation it is in.
Action over information
What you should do next, before what the data says.
Honest degradation
When the system cannot know something, it says so rather than guessing confidently.
Simple wins
Complex technology should feel effortless to the person using it.
Learn continuously
Systems improve from real outcomes, not assumptions about them.
The human overrides the sensor
Any automatic detection has a manual override the system accepts without argument.
Trust is everything
A recommendation you cannot explain is a recommendation you should not make.
Founder
Built by an operator, not a lab
SmartPlay AI was founded by Tim Gustafson — ten years in uniform, four in the Marine Corps as a military policeman and six in the Army as a medic and radiology technologist, followed by 26 years in healthcare operations, most recently as a COO in radiology and imaging.
That background is the company's thesis in miniature. The products are aimed at the moment a decision gets made under pressure, with incomplete information, by someone who will own the outcome — because that describes most of the founder's working life.
