How to approach AI-generated reports and documents
For a report, define the decision or question first, share the relevant files or sources, and request a structure such as an executive summary, evidence, analysis, and next steps. The agent can work through multiple steps and return generated files; review source accuracy and formatting before relying on them.

Draft a source-based business report with AI
Start a report by defining the question it must answer and the evidence available. The executive summary should reflect the analysis below it, not introduce new claims or hide important limitations.
Steps to get a useful result
- Provide the question, audience, reporting period, source files, and section outline.
- Ask the draft to label sourced facts, calculations, assumptions, and missing data.
- Reconcile tables and totals, verify citations, and obtain owner approval.
