Sportily connects to ChatGPT via a technology called MCP (Model Context Protocol). Once set up, you can have natural conversations with ChatGPT about today's races, AI predictions, horse form, and more — all powered by live Sportily data.

Before you begin. You'll need a ChatGPT Plus account (paid plan) and a Sportily account. If you don't have a Sportily account yet, sign up for free here.
1

Enable Developer Mode in ChatGPT

Before you can connect third-party tools, ChatGPT requires Developer Mode to be turned on. This is a one-time step.

  1. 1 Click the link below to open ChatGPT settings
  2. 2 You should see a "Developer Mode" toggle — switch it on
  3. 3 If prompted, confirm the change
Open ChatGPT Advanced Settings

Developer Mode simply unlocks the ability to connect custom tools. It does not change how ChatGPT responds to you.

2

Go to the Apps page

Once Developer Mode is enabled, head to the Apps section. This is where you manage all your connected AI apps.

  1. 1 Click the link below to open the Apps page
  2. 2 You should see a "Create app" button — click it
Open ChatGPT Apps

Sign in to Sportily

After saving the app, ChatGPT will ask you to authorise the connection. This ensures only you can access your Sportily account.

  1. 1 A Sportily login page will open in a new window or popup
  2. 2 Log in with your usual Sportily email and password
  3. 3 Click "Allow" when asked to grant ChatGPT access
  4. 4 The window will close automatically once connected

ChatGPT only receives race data from Sportily — it cannot modify your account or see your payment details.

Start asking questions!

That's it! You can now ask ChatGPT questions about horse racing using live Sportily data. Try some of the examples below.

Example questions to try:

  • › "What races are on today and who are the top picks?"
  • › "Tell me about the SmartPicks for this afternoon"
  • › "What's the form for [horse name]?"
  • › "Which runners have the highest AI win probability today?"

You're all set!

ChatGPT can now access live Sportily data whenever you ask about horses, races, or picks. The connection stays active — you only need to do this setup once.
