View Football Commentator Example on GitHub

Check out the complete Football Commentator example in our GitHub repository
In this example, we build a real-time sports commentator that combines Roboflow’s RF-DETR for player and ball detection with realtime models from Gemini and OpenAI. The system annotates video with bounding boxes, detects game events (like when the ball reappears after fast action), and triggers AI commentary. This example also explores the current limitations of realtime video understanding and showcases Vision Agents’ ability to hot-swap between providers with minimal code changes.
Vision Agents requires a Stream account for real-time transport. Most providers offer free tiers to get started.

​
What You Will Build

  • Detect players and the ball in real time using Roboflow RF-DETR
  • Annotate live video with bounding boxes and detection overlays
  • Trigger AI commentary based on game events (ball reappearance, fast plays)
  • Compare Gemini Live vs OpenAI Realtime with a one-line swap
  • Run on Stream’s low-latency edge network
