All About OLI, NBCUniversal’s AI-Powered Olympic Guide

Experiencing a sports spectacular as vast as the Milan Cortina Olympics can feel a little overwhelming at times, from keeping up with Team USA’s world-class athletes to carving out time to watch each event play out on NBC and Peacock.

Luckily, help has arrived to make the 2026 Winter Olympics easier to navigate and enjoy.

NBCUniversal is harnessing the latest technology to deliver the second version of OLI, its AI-powered Olympic guide that was first introduced during the 2024 Paris Olympics. The goal is to make watching the Games and taking in all the info and stats as accessible as possible.

What is OLI, NBCUniversal’s AI-powered Olympic guide?

OLI combines the conversational power of AI with NBCU’s real-time U.S. programming information to answer core questions for Olympics fans such as when, where and how to watch their favorite events.

Available across 19 NBCU-owned digital properties, including NBCOlympics.com, NBCSports.com, NBC.com, Today.com, NBCNews.com, regional sports networks, and 11 local stations, the upgraded OLI experience, now available, will deliver a more natural and collaborative experience that gives fans deeper context and makes it easier than ever to connect with Olympic moments that matter the most to them.

The upgraded OLI experience was developed in partnership with the design and technology company Huge.

OLI is here to help you figure out when, where, and how to watch your favorite events — and keep you immersed every step of the way.

Only interested in Olympic figure skating? OLI’s got you covered. Prefer to tune in for only the finals of the women’s Snowboard Halfpipe competition? OLI can make it happen.

Using OLI is like having a personal concierge in Northern Italy, leading you to your preferred events during the 2026 Winter Olympics — all without leaving the comfort of your home.

In other words, you’ve never experienced the Olympics quite like this before.

Fans can “connect with the Olympic moments that matter most” to them

“Our goal with OLI on NBCUniversal’s digital platforms is to help fans find up-to-the-minute answers to their Olympics questions, and to help them quickly get to the thousands of hours of coverage we have across NBC and Peacock,” Jenny Storms, NBCUniversal’s Chief Marketing Officer, Entertainment and Sports, said in a statement. “With OLI’s new capabilities, we’re transforming it beyond a discovery tool into a true viewing guide. From real-time medal counts and athlete profiles to personalized highlights and calendar reminders, OLI ensures fans can easily connect with the Olympic moments that matter most.”

Expect features like personalized recommendations and tailored viewing options based on time of day, time zone, and live schedules. OLI’s new features include live medal count updates by country; athlete profiles with bios and event details; video highlights based on user preferences; calendar invites that can be added directly from OLI; and suggested follow-up queries so that users can discover new sports, athletes and Olympic content.
