Hello, Agents!

My team and I have attempted to solve one of the biggest challenges in live streaming to date. We've been tirelessly working on an AI-based search engine that finds the best streamers for you from all major platforms. That way, we all can have some quality time watching what we love.

After we developed a LoL search engine that we launched on the LoL subreddit a few weeks back, it blew up. We received tons of fantastic feedback! A lot of the feedback was to expand to other games. We worked on configuring towards VALORANT, as we wanted to expand to an FPS, and this is still under Riot :).

Shout out to our alpha testers, to the r/VALORANT members that helped us out, and to our VALORANT members in particular that made this product worthy of this post!

Why (TL;DR)?

There are thousands of VALORANT streamers spread across several platforms with such a diverse range of content. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to find the most fitting streamer tailored to each viewer. We're trying to solve this with machine learning!

How?

We built a hybrid recommendation engine powered by cutting edge technology, which utilizes:

Collaborative Filtering (Netflix technology)

– Our engine creates look-alike audiences with similar users' tastes from

billions of data points, brought using Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook's APIs.

Content-Based Filtering (Spotify technology)

– Our engine scans hundreds of thousands of live streams and provides real-time

analysis of the content by analyzing the stream's video, audio, and chat.

What is Jumper?

A search engine that finds the most relevant streamers for you according to your taste, from all major platforms.

How does it work?

1.You pick at least 3 streamers that you like.

2.You receive a list of streamers that fit you the best.

You can throw all your favorite streamers and get more similar to them, or focus your search on personalities, playstyle, region and see the results.

Background?

Live streaming today is where music was in the '90s. But instead of having 20 bands to listen to, we have dozens of streamers that we usually follow. Finding a streamer that has the personality we can relate to, who plays our favorite characters, roles, and playstyle is a never-ending hustle. COVID did not help. On the contrary, it caused inflation of content that flooded the live streaming industry and changed the landscape even more.

Watching live streaming already changed our consumer behavior. If our grandparents watch TV, and our parents watch Netflix, our friends and ourselves watch live streams.

We believe that the next technological leap in the live streaming field is to personalize the selection of relevant streamers for viewers, just like what technology (Spotify) did to music.

We do not know if this is the solution to our problem, but we think it is the first step. Allowing the VALORANT community to explore and find more streamers in the domain of VALORANT, according to their tastes instead of running empty query lines on Google: "Best VALORANT streamers", "Chill VALORANT stream", "Educational VALORANT", "VALORANT esports", etc.

Do you agree this is the first step? Did you like the results you received? What personality did you get :)?We would love to get your feedback! Please feel free to comment below if you have questions or suggestions.

Edit 1: Thank you so much for your amazing feedback, and response! We are sorry for the latency problems, we weren't expecting this load <3.
