I built an AI that reads your Pokémon collection and tells you what's heating up or cooling off, it roasted my "best" cards
One feature of the tracker I've been building (TCG Forecast) that I actually use the most: an AI that looks at your whole collection and, card by card, tells you what's gaining momentum and what's losing it.
The humbling part is that it doesn't care what you're emotionally attached to. I ran it on my own binder fully expecting validation and instead got told that a couple of my "prized" cards were cooling off, while some cards I'd basically forgotten about were the ones actually heating up. It was annoyingly correct.
A few things I was deliberate about building it:
- It describes, it doesn't predict. It won't tell you a card will "10x" or throw a fake future price at you, nobody can actually predict that. It only tells you what your cards are already doing.
- It stays quiet when it isn't sure. If the underlying data for a card looks unreliable, it won't invent a confident-sounding trend, it just won't show one. I'd rather it say nothing than mislead you.
- It's reading your actual collection, not the whole market, so the read is about your binder specifically, not generic "hot cards" everyone already knows about.
It's part of the paid tier, but one random Pokémon's full page (advisor read included) unlocks free for everyone every day, so you can see how it reads before deciding anything.
Genuinely curious for feedback from people who collect: would you actually want an honest read on your collection, even the parts that sting? Or is the fun of collecting kind of ruined by knowing? I go back and forth on it myself.
