# Generate a Report

> Create a structured, multi-page report from a text prompt. The agent researches, organizes, and writes it.

Describe what your report should cover. The agent researches the topic, gathers data from the web, organizes the content into sections, and writes each page. You watch it build in real time.

## How to generate

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select Report as the artifact type">
    On the home dashboard, click **Report** from the artifact type shortcuts below the input bar. If you do not see it, click **More** to find it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your page count">
    Choose how many pages: 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-25, or 25+.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe your report">
    Type what the report should cover. Be specific about the topic, what sections to include, what data you need, and how the report will be used.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Answer the agent's questions">
    The agent asks about things you did not specify: scope, data sources, audience, format preferences. Answer once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it build">
    The agent searches the web for current data, structures the report, and writes it page by page. Each page appears in the side panel as it is completed.
  </Step>

## Example prompts

<Prompt description="Competitive analysis for a freelance web designer" actions={["copy"]}>
  Write a 10-page competitive analysis for my freelance web design business in Portland, OR. I specialize in Shopify store design for small e-commerce brands. Analyze 5 local competitors: Pixel & Co, Webcraft PDX, Rose City Digital, Bridge Studio, and NW Design Lab. For each competitor, cover their service offerings and pricing (research their websites), what types of clients they serve, their strengths and weaknesses based on their portfolio and online reviews, and how they position themselves. Include a comparison table summarizing all 5 competitors. Then add a section on 3 underserved niches I could target (sustainable brands, food/beverage e-commerce, handmade goods). End with a recommended pricing and positioning strategy for the next 6 months with specific action items.

## Edit your report

After generation, click on any page to open it in the rich text editor. A floating toolbar appears when you select text with formatting options:

* **Bold**, *italic*, `code`, and links
* Headings (H1-H6)
* Tables with cells and headers
* Code blocks with syntax highlighting
* Blockquotes
* Bullet and numbered lists

Every edit creates a new version. To see previous versions, open the version history and restore any earlier snapshot.
