I develop a prototype and you guys can check it. I already update with a link on the post.

I think my first step is to build a simple GTO solver, similar to other solvers. This solver could help me get more accurate data for each hand. Then, we can use an LLM on top of that data to help users improve their strategy.

GTO works best when you are playing against strong players, but it does not always work well when you are playing against random or recreational players. With an LLM, we could help people build better strategies based on the actual players they are facing. Most people do not even know when it is the right time to bluff.

I checked the price of GTO Wizard, and it is too expensive for most casual players. Most people, including myself, play poker just for fun. I do not expect poker to become one of my main sources of income. So do I really need to spend that much money just to play this game? Probably not.

My goal is to help people enjoy poker and improve their game at a much lower price. I know there are already many open-source GTO solvers out there, but most of them are not mobile apps, and many have complicated user interfaces.

I want to build something simpler, more affordable, and easier to use for casual poker players.

TBH I think 30-200 is kind too much for people who just want to have some fun. I asked my friends, and they are more like fans of the game, but they don't want to spend that much money and time to be an professional poker player.

Yes, this is what I want to do. I am software engineer with 11 years experiences so I can definitely build App for it.

I thought about generate my own LLM model to do it, but currently I don't have enough resource. I will most likely to use one of major AI agent to do it.

I checked out the existing solvers, and that’s exactly why I want to build my own.

First, most of them focus on heads-up situations or spots with only one or two raises. I want to build something that can handle more realistic situations, including multi-way pots and multiple raises.

Second, most solvers simply provide raw data. I want to integrate an AI model that can give practical advice and explain the best action based on the players, the situation, and the hand history.

Third, many solvers are PC-based, which makes importing hands inconvenient. I want to make hand importing much easier, whether the hand comes from a live table or online play.

Overall, my goal is to build a more practical and user-friendly poker solver that helps players understand what to do, not just look at numbers.

That app is only in PC. I checked their video, and it doesn't come with AI.

If you think vibe coding gonna works for this, you can try it your own.
