When the stakes are highest, innovation shines brightest. As the NHL Playoffs brought an electric energy to the ice, entrepreneur Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros and his tech company Zooly AI delivered a first-of-its-kind fan experience for the Tampa Bay Lightning, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of real-time AI engagement in professional sports.

Leveraging Zooly’s flagship product, Photobomb, fans inside Amalie Arena during playoff games were given an entirely new way to connect with their team. With a simple QR code scan, spectators instantly received dynamic, personalized photos featuring the Lightning mascot ThunderBug, seamlessly inserted into their memories-no app download required, just pure surprise and delight.

In a setting where emotions run high and every moment matters, the Photobomb activation proved that artificial intelligence can enhance the magic of live events rather than distract from it. Fans flooded social media with their custom playoff memories, helping amplify the Lightning’s home-ice advantage beyond the rink and into the digital world.

“The playoffs are where legends are made,” said Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros, founder of Zooly AI. “It was important for us to show that AI can make these moments even more personal, not mechanical. We wanted fans to feel like they weren’t just spectators-they were part of the story.”

The activation drew massive engagement, with QR code scans and social shares surpassing expectations-proving that fans are eager for real-time, culturally connected experiences when the stakes are at their highest. For the Lightning, it deepened fan loyalty. For Zooly, it validated a vision: building the connective tissue between live emotion and intelligent digital interaction.

As Zooly AI continues expanding its footprint across professional sports, the Tampa Bay Lightning playoff activation stands as a landmark moment-one where culture, technology, and tradition collided under the brightest lights.
