How FlopIt's AI Hand Builder Actually Works
Type a hand the way you'd say it out loud. FlopIt's AI reads positions, cards, and action, and builds a replayable hand in seconds.
What You Actually Type
There's no special syntax to memorize before you can use FlopIt's hand builder. A description like "9s8s BTN vs CO, flop 9d8c7h" is already enough, it's close to how you'd type a quick note to yourself right after a session. The AI reads suited or offsuit hole cards, position labels, opponent positions, and flop, turn, and river cards from that kind of shorthand, and it also handles a looser, more conversational version if you'd rather write "I had suited nines and eights on the button against the cutoff, flop came nine, eight, seven." Either style gets parsed into the same structured hand.

What It Understands
Positions, action, and streets, not just cards
The parsing goes beyond just recognizing which cards were involved. It reads position context, button, cutoff, blinds, and understands what that implies about who's acting first on later streets. It follows action across preflop, flop, turn, and river as separate stages, so a check-raise on the turn gets placed correctly rather than lumped in with the rest of the hand. This is what makes the output genuinely replayable rather than just a static summary, once the AI has structured the hand, anyone viewing it can step through each street in the order it actually happened.

Why This Beats Manual Entry
Seconds instead of a card-by-card grid
Most tools that let you log a poker hand require clicking through a card selector, choosing suits and ranks one at a time for every street, then separately logging bet sizes and actions. That's slow enough that most people just don't bother for anything but the biggest hands. FlopIt's AI collapses that entire process into typing one description. You save the time you'd otherwise spend on data entry and spend it instead on the actual poker question, whether a line made sense. For anyone who's tried to log hands manually elsewhere and given up after a week, the speed difference is the whole reason FlopIt sticks.

When to Use the Manual Builder Instead
Full control is still one tap away
The AI parser handles the vast majority of hands well, but it's not the only option. If a hand is unusual, involves a side pot, or you'd simply rather build it step by step for precision, FlopIt's manual builder walks you through preflop, flop, turn, and river one action at a time. You can also start with the AI and then adjust any detail it got wrong before you post, rather than starting over. The two methods aren't competing options so much as two entry points into the same structured hand format, pick whichever fits the moment.

What Happens After the Hand Is Built
Parsing is the start, not the whole story
Once the AI builds your hand, it's ready to post immediately, no extra formatting step. You choose whether it goes to your public feed or a private study group, and from there other players can replay it street by street, vote on what they'd do, and comment on your line. The AI's job is specifically to remove the friction between having a hand worth discussing and actually getting it in front of people who can react to it. Everything that makes FlopIt useful as a social platform depends on that first step being fast and accurate.

AI Hand Builder FAQ
What format does the AI expect for hand descriptions?
There's no strict format required. Shorthand like "9s8s BTN vs CO, flop 9d8c7h" works, and so does a more conversational sentence describing the same hand. The AI is built to handle both.
Can the AI understand multi-way pots?
Yes, the parser reads action involving more than two players, tracking who's still in the hand as it progresses through each street rather than assuming a simple heads-up pot.
What if the AI gets a detail wrong?
You can review and adjust the hand before posting it. Any detail the AI misread from your description can be corrected manually without starting the hand over from scratch.
Is the AI hand builder available on the free plan?
Yes. Building hands with the AI parser is part of FlopIt's free tier, not a feature reserved for paid subscribers.
