Equipe Startlist AI

Startlist AI helps show organizers turn rider PM notes into structured start-list wishes, test those wishes against Equipe's prepared start slots, and export a proposed order back to Equipe.

What The Extension Does

Imports Equipe data

Pulls competitions, starts, riders, horses, horse numbers, and PM notes from the current meeting.

Parses rider wishes

Uses AI to extract wishes such as late starts, near another rider, before or after a break, and spacing or order between a rider's own horses.

Evaluates the order

Moves starts within the existing imported slots and shows which wishes are honored, unhonored, or unenforceable.

Exports changes

Writes the proposed position, start number, and time back to Equipe when those values are available. Export stops if affected competitions contain ridden or ranked starts.

Before You Start In Equipe

The extension works from Equipe's existing start slots. Prepare the meeting in Equipe first:

  1. 1. Draw every competition. The extension does not create a start list from scratch.
  2. 2. Add planned breaks. Breaks should already exist in the Equipe schedule before import.
  3. 3. Run Equipe's automatic start-time conflict resolver. Use the magic wand in Equipe so the start slots and estimated times are ready.
  4. 4. Verify the order and estimated times. Startlist AI moves starts between the imported slots; it does not recalculate the whole day plan.
  5. 5. Make sure PM notes are entered. Rider PM notes and horse PM notes are imported and parsed as the source wishes.

Workflow

Step 1

Import

Pull the prepared meeting data from Equipe.

Step 2

Parse wishes

Use AI to turn PM notes into structured wishes.

Step 3

Evaluate wishes

Move starts within existing slots and check wish status.

Step 4

Export order

Write the proposed order back to Equipe.

OpenAI API Key

Startlist AI needs an OpenAI API key to parse PM notes. The key is stored encrypted for the organizer and is used only when parsing rider wishes.

How to create the key

  1. Go to platform.openai.com and sign in.
  2. Open the API keys area for the project or organization that should pay for the usage.
  3. Create a new secret key.
  4. Use All permissions / full permissions for the key.
  5. Paste the key into AI access in this extension.
Current parser model
gpt-5.4-mini
Permission level
All / full permissions

Keep the key private. Do not paste personal ChatGPT credentials here; this must be an OpenAI API key.

Important Limits

  • The AI parser can misunderstand ambiguous notes. Use the rider wishes view to inspect original text vs. extracted data.
  • The resolver only moves starts inside imported slots. It does not invent new slots or redesign the schedule.
  • Export is blocked when affected competitions contain ridden or ranked starts, so live competition data is not overwritten.
