Inspiration
Redditors love to debate, and this game makes the stakes real! I was looking for a game system that incorporates real world frequently updated information into a game system. From the cultural phenomenon that is WallStreetBets and Reddit's fascination with rooting out (and sometimes creating!) disinformation. This game is designed for all the stonks, WSB and investing communities to turn discussion of company earnings calls into a fun game. Redditors love to debate, and this game makes the stakes real!
What it does
I run a site that skims podcasts, which I modified here to work on company earnings calls. It finds question and answer pairs and extracts key quotes and insights, boiled down into headline question and answer pairs suitable for a game. Every day new calls and new content comes out. In the game you run through the questions and try to predict the crowd sentiment on a CEOs answer.
How we built it
It's a combination of AI analysis of calls, turning unstructured data into structured data, and multiple passes with different AI models to extract quantitative data. The client was using the devvit web with react. HighScores table I used reddit's internal redis instance.
Challenges we ran into
Debugging when the code can only run in the remote sandbox made things a bit challenging. Currently there is a "cold start" problem when there isn't enough data from the crowd to compare against. In this case we just compare your score with an AI predicted score for the question.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It makes use of external data in a game mechanic. Integration with the reddit API so you can comment in game and have the comment show up on a post. Ideally I want the game to be a starting point to stimulate discussions in the sub.
What we learned
Earnings call material is very dry, all reviewed by legal!
What's next for AlphaCalls
Proper multiplayer and leader boards A more visual ranking system to compare yourself to others. I want to make the content more fun, so I might stray a bit from the pure reality - creating caricatures of the CEO characters
