Hey everyone,

 

Some of you might have seen my old Reddit post earlier this year about a proof-of-concept AI hand review tool I was building. Since then, I’ve basically rebuilt the whole thing from scratch and wanted to share an update + get feedback from the community because a lot has changed with the app since then.

 

The project is called Railbird – it allows you to paste/upload a hand history from poker rooms or just describe it from memory

 

Here are some highlights of the current features:

 

1. Instant NL Hand Analysis

You can either:

• paste a full hand history (PT4 / HM3 / most standard rooms), or

• just describe a spot in plain English

 

Railbird will:

• rebuild the hand + game contexts (stacks, positions, board, actions)

• pull GTO-backed strategy from my solver corpus for supported stack depths

• explain those numbers in an easy to digest way so you don't need to memorize solver charts

 

Examples of things you can type:

 

“6-max 100bb, CO opens 2.5x, I’m BTN with AKo. 3-bet to 8bb or flat and play post?”

“BTN opens 2.5x, I 3-bet from BB with AKs, flop K72r, turn 5 – did I over-bluff river?”

 

The aim is to review that one annoying hand after a session without digging through trees or node selectors.

2. Session Reviews in “Story Mode”

 

You can also upload a full HH file, Railbird builds a complete review:

• 🕒 Timeline view: each hand becomes a short “story card” so you can skim the session and jump to the key pots.

• 📈 Dedicated solver panel: frequencies / EV / ranges live in their own panel, separate from the explanation text.

• 💬 Coach chat: you can ask follow-ups on any decision (e.g. “Why this combo prefers bluffing” / “What’s my defending range?”) inside the review flow.

Current coverage:

• 🏆 MTT: 20–100bb

• 💵 Cash: 50–150bb

 

Right now:

• Limped pots are handled by the LLM using heuristics, I plan to add support for these spots soon.

• Multi-way spots are approximated

 

The whole idea is to bridge the gap between memorising solver outputs and actually understanding why solver prefers certain lines, in a way that can be turned into real-time intuition at the table instead of just memorizing solver output.

 

Future:

 

I'm currently working on a desktop app that will automatically imports your hands and allow you to pick the hands/sessions you want to analyze. Do send me a DM if this is something you'd like to test on!

 

 

If any of you are curious, you can try it here - 👉 https://railbird.gg/

 

I'd love to hear your feedback on:

 

- Is it easy to understand what you were supposed to do in the app?

- If the analysis feel useful / trustworthy and smooth?

- Feedback on the explanations: Is it deep enough?

- Ideas for what would make this a tool you’d actually use daily

 

Thanks guys, happy grinding!
