From Hours to Minutes – How Sandra Turns Numbers into Weekly Reports with AI

Problem

Recurring reports take time: collecting numbers, spotting highlights, writing clearly. Errors slip in easily; style and structure vary.

AI Solution

Sandra uploads data (CSV/Excel) or pastes a table and provides context: period, audience, tone (neutral/positive), desired length. The AI:

1. analyzes key metrics (e.g., revenue, tickets, utilization) and flags anomalies,
2. produces a standardized report (overview → details → actions),
3. adds visualization hints (where charts would help),
4. offers variants: executive summary, detailed report, email brief.

Example Structure

• Executive Summary: 3–5 sentences with key trends.
• KPIs: table with last week/month and % change.
• Analysis: reasons for deviations, risks/opportunities.
• Next Steps: 2–3 actionable items with owners.

Outcome

The weekly report is ready in ten minutes. Consistent quality, fewer typos, and a clearer focus on decisions instead of formatting.

Benefits

• Speed: 2h → 10min.
• Standardization: consistent structure and tone.
• Transparency: highlights anomalies with rationale.

Limitations

• Garbage in, garbage out: poor data leads to poor conclusions.
• Check sensitive content (compliance/privacy); don’t share source sheets unintentionally.
• Expert review remains necessary.
