Neutrality
OpenPadel AI does not compete with platforms, clubs or federations. We are infrastructure — the Switzerland of racquet sports — a shared rail that amplifies what already works without picking winners.
Building the AI-powered padel ecosystem
OpenPadel AI is an initiative by CodeIdea LLC — born from years of building digital tools for padel clubs, operators and booking platforms. We saw the integration pain first-hand and decided to fix it at the infrastructure level — with AI.
Our mission
Help racquet sports platforms, clubs, and federations move from fragmented systems to a connected ecosystem
Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, but its digital ecosystem is fragmented. Platforms spend 30% of dev time on custom integrations. OpenPadel AI solves this through AI-powered interoperability infrastructure — a shared standard that connects everyone without replacing anyone.
Our vision
The trusted interoperability standard for the racquet sports ecosystem
We envision a world where booking platforms, club management systems and federation portals interoperate seamlessly — powered by AI-assisted workflows. Starting with Padel, expanding to Tennis and Pickleball, serving the broader €30B global racquet sports market.
Our values
The principles that guide everything we build
OpenPadel AI is not just a product — it's a commitment to principles that ensure the ecosystem remains fair, open, and sustainable for all participants.
Practical AI
Not just hype. Our AI workflow reduces complex schema mapping from weeks of manual engineering to minutes of review — measurably removing real work from integration projects.
Trust & privacy
Security and GDPR-aligned privacy principles are baked in from day one — OAuth2, scoped access, encryption, audit trails and explicit consent for every data exchange.
Long-term thinking
We build for sustainability. OpenPadel AI is designed to grow with the sport over decades — starting with Padel, expanding to Tennis and Pickleball.
