This article describes a local AI football analyst tool called MatchMind, created by the author's girlfriend Bruna Boaventura. The tool provides Brazilian football statistics and historical data without requiring an internet connection or API keys.
MatchMind compiles data from OpenFootball (CC0 licensed) and a Brazilian football history dataset from Adão Duque. It presents tables, recent form, lineups, squad information, and 20 years of Série A history in an easy-to-use interface. Users can ask questions in Portuguese and receive factual answers from an AI model named Gemma 3 4B, running locally through Ollama.
The tool emphasizes honesty and transparency, explicitly stating when data is missing or uncertain. It also includes a verification system that separates factual information from interpretation. The author built the tool using Go for the backend API, Vue 3 for the frontend interface, and Ollama to run the Gemini model locally.
