Interviews
Daniel Yoo, Chief Marketing Officer atSizzle.gg, a one one-stop shop for gaming stream highlights.
When did you first discover your passion for gaming?
After graduation, I pursued Starcraft 2 then Hearthstone professionally while playing poker as my main source of income.
Could you tell us what is Sizzle.gg?
How did did the initial idea for Sizzle.gg come about?
As we discussed the possibilities, we realized that compiling gaming highlights can actually be automated through AI.
We could detect the kills, the action scenes, and even the funny moments.
So we interviewed hundreds of gaming fans about our idea and they loved it.
So thats what we set out to build.
Im proud to say that weve now built a great AI foundation for gamers.
How does the AI determine which moments to feature in the sizzle reel?
We analyze the video, audio, and chat from Twitch and YouTube.
For instance, analyzing the video of the gameplay tells us the kills and action scenes.
Our chat analysis can detect when an online audience is laughing, so we know its a funny moment.
And our video and audio analysis can detect when a streamer is excited, so we clip those moments.
With all of these detectors, we get a pretty thorough picture of the best moments for our sizzles.
We also use artificial intelligence to determine how a highlight is compiled for a user based on their preferences.
For example, I might be looking to improve as a Brimstone player in Valorant.
Sizzle.gg would then personalize the highlights and show the high-level plays made by Brimstone.
What games are currently offered on your platform and which games are you working on adding next?
Our goal is to eventually support the top 20 gaming titles on livestream platforms.
How has the feedback been from the gaming community?
For a streamer that wishes to join the connection whats the process?

Were also looking to expand our partnerships in esports to provide more value to gaming fans.
Recently, we supported multiple Fortnite tournaments and produced highlights for the fans to enjoy.
