HLTV launched a closed beta of HLTV Brain, their new AI chatbot built on top of the site's stats database.
What it does
Answers Counter-Strike questions using HLTV's internal database — players, teams, matches, news, rankings, stats. Example queries from the article:
- Finding the best-performing duos in late-round situations
- Listing a player's past teammates
How it works
HLTV staff member Nomad explained the AI uses tools HLTV provides to:
- Understand questions
- Gather data
- Write plain-English replies with charts or tables
Nomad: the AI is "not allowed to invent facts or numbers and will decline when information is unavailable."
Access + timeline
- Access: waitlist at hltv.org/ai; users added over time
- Expansion timing: likely a few days before more invites, pending initial fixes
- Closed beta duration: two weeks planned
- Underlying model: not named in the article
- Pricing: not stated
Data scope: "trained on and uses exclusively HLTV's data to answer questions."
