I built an AI commentator that screams about your sourdough like it's the World Cup final

Short summary

GOLAZO is a single-file web app that turns any described moment into over-the-top sports commentary using Gemini 2.0 Flash for text generation and ElevenLabs for expressive multilingual voice synthesis. Users pick a commentator persona, language, and intensity level, then receive streamed text and audio commentary that treats mundane events like World Cup goals. The project includes thoughtful prompt engineering to enforce sincerity over irony, accessibility fallbacks via Web Speech API, and reduced-motion support.

  • Single-index.html app using Gemini 2.0 Flash for commentary text and ElevenLabs for multilingual TTS
  • Three commentator personas across nine languages with an intensity dial (1-10) and sincerity-enforced prompting
  • Open-source repo with no backend, no framework, localStorage-only key storage, and Web Speech API fallback

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
