This guide walks you through generating a report. You can start from a text prompt or from a web article. Both paths go through the same research and generation process.

From a prompt

1

Select Report as your artifact type

On the home dashboard, click the artifact picker and select Report.
2

Choose your page count

Select a page range before typing your prompt:
Page rangePlan required
5–10Free
10–15Free
15–20Pro
20–25Pro
25+Max
Longer reports require a higher plan tier.
3

Describe your report

Type your topic, research question, or area of analysis in the input bar.
Example prompts:
  • “Generate a report on Q3 sales performance with detailed charts.”
  • “Create a summary report of customer feedback from the past month.”
  • “Generate a report on website traffic and user engagement metrics.”
You can also attach files for context. Upload data files, previous reports, or reference material using the + button. The agent uses these as additional input during research.

Review the preflight plan

Before researching or writing, the agent presents a plan for your approval. The plan covers:
  • Audience - Who reads this report and what decisions it informs.
  • Scope - What is in bounds and out of bounds.
  • Source strategy - What types of sources are authoritative for this topic.
  • Depth - Whether this is a quick brief or a deep dive.
  • Visuals - What charts or images would strengthen the argument.
Review the plan. If something needs to change, tell the agent before it starts. The agent does not begin researching until you approve.

Wait for research and generation

Once you approve the plan, the agent begins its research process. It searches multiple sources, evaluates their reliability, cross-checks major claims against at least three independent sources, and then writes the report.The agent generates charts and visualizations where the data supports them. Charts include labels, units, and titles so they are readable on their own.You see progress in real time as the agent works. The full report appears in the side panel when generation is complete.

Review and refine

Open the report in the side panel to review. If anything needs to change, you have two options:
  • Ask the agent - Describe what you want changed in the chat. For small factual updates, the agent makes targeted edits. For structural changes, it may rewrite specific sections while preserving the rest.
  • Edit directly - Click into pages and edit text, headings, tables, and formatting using the Markdown editor.

From a web article

1

Select Report as your artifact type

On the home dashboard, click the artifact picker and select Report.
2

Choose your page count

Select a page range the same way as a prompt-based report.
3

Provide the article URL

Paste a URL to a web article in the input bar. Add any instructions about what you want the report to focus on.
Example: “Generate a comprehensive report based on this article: https://example.com/ai-trends-2026. Focus on market size projections and competitive landscape.”
The agent reads the article and expands on it with additional research from other sources to build a complete report.
4

Review the preflight plan

The agent presents the same plan as a prompt-based report: audience, scope, source strategy, depth, and visuals. Review and approve before it proceeds.
5

Wait for research and generation

The agent researches, writes, and generates the report. You see progress in real time.
6

Review and refine

Review the report in the side panel. Edit directly in the Markdown editor or ask the agent for changes.

What the finished report contains

Every report follows a conclusion-first structure:
SectionWhat it contains
Executive SummaryThe answer in 2–3 sentences
Key Findings3–4 takeaways
AnalysisEvidence and reasoning, organized by argument
MethodologySources used, approach taken, and limitations
ReferencesFull citations with URLs and access dates
Charts and images are embedded throughout the report where data supports them.
When asking the agent to edit an existing report, be specific about what to change. The agent prefers targeted edits over full rewrites, which means faster results and fewer credits used.
