Let me introduce Poble, the world's first BJJ AI
- development
Hello, this is Quartz, the creator of the Post Black Belt app. Before we even realized it, we’ve already entered the last quarter of 2024. I hope everyone is doing well. This year, I’ve been spending most of my time absorbing new knowledge, experimenting, failing, and learning from it all. As new curiosities arise, I find myself reading over 20 books in parallel and thinking about what products I should build in this rapidly evolving tech landscape.
In this post, I’m excited to introduce the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of Poble AI, the result of my efforts. The first feature I want to showcase is automatic technique hashtag generation. I’ll go over how it was developed and how you can best utilize it. Enjoy the read!
AI Black Belt Beta Feature
Some of you who have been using Post Black Belt for a while may remember this. After countless AI models were released to the world, I also implemented a simple chatbot and launched the AI Black Belt beta version a year ago. However, there were a few limitations when it came to using large language models (LLMs) in a Jiu-Jitsu app at the time:
- Additional fine-tuning or learning specific to Jiu-Jitsu was necessary.
- The use cases were too broad.
- The data was not up-to-date, requiring more development to cover a wider range.
Technique Hashtags
What’s your main purpose for using the Post Black Belt app? What do you write in your Jiu-Jitsu journal?
- Do you record how much and when you train?
- Do you use it to refocus yourself for better training?
- Or do you categorize techniques to improve your Jiu-Jitsu skills?
One of the most common pieces of feedback I’ve received is that users want to “select multiple categories for techniques” or “record techniques in more detail.” I also noticed that asking about specific techniques was a frequent pattern in AI chat interactions. Although it would have been ideal to address this issue at the time, after comparing the energy required for technical migration, I decided it would be better to develop a new feature: technique hashtags.
The reason the hashtag feature took longer to develop was partly due to my own ambition. Currently, Post Black Belt offers about 150 hashtags, and this number will inevitably increase. As you can tell from the image, manually searching for and entering each technique is tedious and inefficient.
Poble AI’s Hashtag Auto-Generation
“If I’ve already written down the techniques in my journal, why do I have to find them myself?”
This question led me to consider whether we could automatically generate hashtags with just one click based on the journal entry. And so, using OpenAI’s model, Poble AI was born.
One of my main focuses this year has been making recording workouts easy and convenient. I created a modal for quickly jotting down workouts for users who just want to log their training and improved the journal writing interface to make it more intuitive.
Additionally, by clicking on a hashtag you’ve written, you can immediately jump to the search screen to view related journal entries. Moving forward, I’m not just focusing on implementing features, but also on enhancing the user experience with a bit more ambition.
In Closing
Some of you may be eager to try out this feature, but due to the costs of the AI API, it’s currently only available to subscription users. Post Black Belt will continue to introduce more features powered by AI, so if you find it useful, consider subscribing to experience everything else we have to offer.
Thank you for your continued support of the app, and I’d be grateful for any feedback you have. Wishing you all a happy October!
