I Built a Lazy Cricket Reporter That Works Without Internet - UP Cricket Adda Summarizer

ThiHacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady

What I Built

I built UP Cricket Adda Summarizer - an AI tool that does my lazy work.

Every day in UP, there are 100+ local cricket matches. I used to spend 3-4 hours reading long WhatsApp reports and commentary to write a small summary.

Now my tool does it in 10 seconds. It takes a long cricket match report and makes a short, clean summary in Hindi + English.

Who gets the time back?

1. Me: I save 3 hours daily.
2. Local cricket fans in UP: They get fast updates without reading long articles.
3. Small cricket pages: Who don't have a big team.

Why Open-Source AI is Better (Slow and Steady)

I tried closed AI APIs first. Two problems:

1. Internet needed - in Karsog internet is slow, API fails.
2. Pay every time - 100 summaries = too much cost.

So I used open-source model (BART) that runs on my own laptop.

Benefits:

• Works without internet - data stays private on my machine.
• Set up once, never pay again.
• I can change it for Hindi cricket words like Chakka, Wicket.

This is Slow and Steady - build once, own it forever.

How I Built It

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript for fast loading on low-end phones.
• AI Model: facebook/bart-large-cnn from Hugging Face.
• Logic: Long text -> Model -> 3-line summary.
• Hosting: GitHub Pages.

I saved my agent session with DevRelay while building.

What's Next?

Add voice output so farmers can listen to summary while working in field.
