Build a sports commentator desk app with Grok Bot, no coding background needed

@manuelvogl (Oct 15) built a desk app with Grok Bot for commentating the speed races at ASU26 in Asunción, with no coding background. Pick a race and it ranks athletes by distance, weighted by world championship results. Athlete cards show strengths, results and head-to-head, and live heats and results flow in from Vensport. The app screen in their video is titled SPEED DESK.

Try it yourself

What you get

One screen per race with ranked athletes, athlete cards and live results, instead of paper notes.

Tools

  • Grok Bot
  • A live results feed (theirs: Vensport)

Steps

  1. Tell the bot what you cover and what you need on screen during a live event.
  2. Have it build a race picker that ranks athletes by distance, weighted by past championship results.
  3. Add an athlete card with strengths, results and head-to-head.
  4. Connect the live results feed for the event (theirs is Vensport) so heats and results update during the race.

Copy-ready prompt

Build me a desk app for commentating [SPORT/EVENT]. Let me pick a race and show a ranked list of athletes by [DISTANCE/CATEGORY], weighted by [PAST RESULTS]. Give each athlete a card with strengths, recent results and head-to-head, and pull live heats and results from [RESULTS FEED URL] during the event.

In their words

My secret weapon for commentating the speed races at #ASU26 in Asunción: a desk app I built myself, with no coding background, prepared together with @bot.
