What we're building

Product Roadmap

Rank improvement over time — AI and your coach on the same match. Valorant is the quality bar; CS2 and Deadlock are growing with the community.

Q2 2026 focus

Close the daily improvement loop (weekly focus, session reviews, rank percentiles in product), raise AI coaching quality on every match, and reduce OBS first-run friction. Coach Hub and marketplace stay live — we're not building new marketplace pillars until post-game coaching feels undeniable.
