# MatchMind — Frequently Asked Questions

> MatchMind is a free AI football intelligence web app for World Cup 2026 fans — powered by Gemini, MongoDB Atlas, and Google Cloud Agent Builder.

## What is MatchMind?

MatchMind is an AI football intelligence agent for World Cup 2026 fans. It classifies natural-language questions, queries a MongoDB Atlas football database via MCP tools, and returns structured analyst-grade responses with key stats, confidence signals, and follow-up suggestions.

## What can I ask MatchMind?

You can ask about World Cup 2026 stats, match predictions, fantasy lineups, tactical analysis, and head-to-head history. Example questions include top scorers by group, quarterfinal predictions, fantasy XI builds, and team weaknesses.

## How does MatchMind work?

MatchMind uses a four-step pipeline: Gemini classifies your question intent, an MCP tool queries MongoDB Atlas with aggregation pipelines, Gemini reasons over the retrieved records, and the UI renders a structured analyst card with headline, analysis, stats, and a follow-up prompt.

## What technology powers MatchMind?

MatchMind is built with Next.js, Gemini (gemini-2.5-flash-lite), MongoDB Atlas, Google Cloud Agent Builder (ADK), and TypeScript. It deploys on Vercel and uses an MCP tool interface in lib/mcp.ts for database retrieval.

## Does MatchMind use live FIFA broadcast data?

MatchMind is powered by live MongoDB sync after tournament kickoff — independent of any official broadcast data feed. Before World Cup kickoff (11 June 2026), it shows clearly labeled preview mockup data for demo UX. After kickoff, real results sync via npm run sync or the admin agent and appear as live MongoDB data.

## Who built MatchMind?

MatchMind was built by Mojeeb Titilayo (@mojeebeth) at BlindspotLab for the Google Cloud Rapid Agent Hackathon 2026, MongoDB Partner Track.

## Is MatchMind free to use?

Yes. The fan-facing MatchMind agent at agent.matchmind.xyz is free to use. MatchMind is open source on GitHub at github.com/mojeebdev/matchmind.
