CONCEPT: EXPLORING HOW AI CAN SIMPLIFY STRATEGIC REPORTING
This is a concept for an AI-powered assistant that helps users generate personalised reports and presentations using proprietary insights into global industries, economies, and consumers. By submitting briefs or completing guided forms, users receive custom, relevant output, designed to make them feel supported, in control, and confident throughout the creation process.
Insight
Users are uncertain whether the AI will surface relevant data or insights aligned with their goals.
Opportunity
Increase transparency and give users more control over how the AI structures, filters, and prioritiSes content.
How might we (HMW)
How might we help users quickly identify and access the most relevant data or insights?
Users have varying expectations for the final deliverable, some prefer presentation slides, while others want detailed narrative summaries or reports.
Enable customisation of output by format, tone, and level of detail
How might we let users preview and adjust the report structure or presentation before it's generated?
Users may be unclear about the optimal report format for their needs and may struggle with creating effective briefs
Offer guidance through templates, examples, or AI-assisted suggestions during the brief submission process to help users craft impactful briefs.
How might we help users craft more effective briefs with the help of guided templates or AI-suggested prompts?
