## Calling Padel Analyst in a chat

The app is available across your whole ChatGPT account: every chat, on every device where you're signed in. You only install it once. There are two ways to call it:

### Mention it by name

Type `@Padel Analyst` in the message box and pick it from the list, then write your question:

</Frame>

### Select it from the + menu

Click the **+** button next to the message box and choose **Padel Analyst** from the list:

## What you can ask

Ask in your own words, there's nothing to memorize. Anything about professional padel is fair game: players, pairs, tournaments, results, rankings, match statistics and predictions.

Some questions to get you started:

* "Who won the last Premier Padel Major?"
* "Show me the head-to-head between Lebron/Galan and Coello/Tapia"
* "What are Arturo Coello's statistics this season?"
* "List all P1 tournaments in 2025"
* "Simulate a match between the top two ranked pairs"

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The Install plugin button doesn't appear">
    Make sure you're signed in to ChatGPT. The button only shows on the app page once you have an active session, and it works on the free plan.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Padel Analyst doesn't answer with data">
    Check that your Padel API subscription is active on the [billing page](https://padelapi.org/billing). If it is, use **Reconnect** from the app settings to sign in again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Something else isn't working">
    Write to [ferran@padelapi.org](mailto:ferran@padelapi.org) with a description of what you were doing and we'll take a look.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Manage or remove the app

Open **Settings → Plugins** in ChatGPT and select **Padel Analyst**. From there you can review the connection, adjust when ChatGPT asks for permission, and see every read action the app can perform, with the description of each tool.

The **···** menu in the top-right corner gives you three options:

| Option                 | What it does                                                                       |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **View plugin detail** | Opens the Padel Analyst app page                                                   |
| **Reconnect**          | Signs in again with your Padel API account, useful if the connection stops working |
| **Disconnect**         | Removes the app from your ChatGPT account. You can install it again at any time    |
