From Hours to Seconds: AI-Powered Reporting Transforms IT Data Analysis

Turn natural language questions into detailed IT infrastructure reports in seconds, with no SQL or technical expertise required.

From Hours to Seconds: AI-Powered Reporting Transforms IT Data Analysis

The data is all there. Every device in your organization, every update status, every configuration detail, every performance metric. Your IT infrastructure is generating valuable insights every single day. So why does getting a simple report still feel like pulling teeth?

If you're an IT Director, you know this frustration well. You need visibility into your device fleet to make strategic decisions, but creating custom reports means either learning complex query languages, waiting for someone who knows SQL, or settling for generic dashboards that don't answer your actual questions. By the time you get the report you need, the situation may have already changed.

The gap between having data and getting answers shouldn't be so complicated. That's why we're introducing Create with AI - Reports, a feature that lets you generate custom reports from your device fleet using nothing but natural language.

What is Create with AI for Reports?

Create withAI for Reports is exactly what it sounds like: you describe the report you need in natural language, and AI generates it from your organization's device fleet data. No SQL queries. No scripting. No waiting for the reporting team to fit your request into their queue.

Type "Show me all devices running outdated antivirus software by department" and watch as a detailed report appears in seconds. Need to see which laptops are experiencing connectivity issues this week? Just ask. Want to identify devices that haven't been patched in the last 30 days? Describe it and the report is yours.

The system supports English, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, and Basque, because asking questions should never require switching languages. You can view results instantly on screen, save them for later, schedule automatic delivery via email, or export them to Excel or CSV for further analysis.

Who This Transforms Daily Work For

IT Directors: Strategic Oversight Without the Wait

As an ITDirector, you need to see patterns across your entire infrastructure. Which devices are approaching end-of-life? Where are security vulnerabilities concentrated? How does patch compliance vary across departments?

With Create with AI - Reports, you can ask these questions directly and get immediate answers. More importantly, you can schedule these reports to arrive automatically every Monday morning, so you always start the week with current visibility. No more waiting for someone to run queries for you. No more outdated reports based on last month's data.

Directors of Workspace: Real-Time Fleet Visibility

Managing digital employee experience means understanding what's actually happening across your device fleet right now. Which teams are experiencing the most technical issues? Where are performance bottlenecks emerging? How many devices meet your standard configuration requirements?

Natural language reporting puts this intelligence at your fingertips. Generate ad-hoc reports during meetings. Answer stakeholder questions on the spot. Build a library of standard reports your team can reference anytime.

L2 and L3 Support Teams: Self-Service Data Access

Support teams are often the first to spot patterns that indicate larger issues. But pulling data to confirm a suspicion or diagnose a recurring problem shouldn't require escalation to a database administrator.

Create withAI gives your support team the power to investigate independently. They can generate reports about specific device models, software versions, error patterns, or configuration states without leaving their workflow. This means faster troubleshooting and fewer escalations for basic data requests.

Real-World Scenario: The Security Patch Audit

Let's walkthrough a scenario that happens in every IT department: you need to audit security patch compliance before a quarterly review.

In the traditional approach, this means requesting a report from your team, waiting for them to write the queries, getting back a spreadsheet, then realizing you need it broken down differently and starting the process over. The whole cycle might take days.

With Create with AI - Reports:

You: "Show me all Windows devices that haven't received security updates in the last 60 days, grouped by department"

The AI processes your request and generates a filtered table showing exactly what you asked for. You review the results and realize you also need to see which devices have updates available but not installed.

You: Modify your request: "Also show update status and available patches"

The AI refines the report. Now you have everything you need. You save it to your "Security Compliance" category and schedule it to run automatically every Friday afternoon, delivered to both your inbox and your CISO's.

Total time: less than five minutes. The report will now regenerate with fresh data every week without you touching it again.

How It Works: From Question to Insight

The process is straightforward:

  1. Access the feature: Navigate to Portal → Reports → Create with AI
  2. Describe what you need: Type your request in natural language (up to 400 characters). Not sure how to phrase it? The interface provides example prompts to get you started.
  3. Generate your report: Click the arrow button and wait a few seconds while the AI creates your custom report
  4. Review and refine: Your report appears as a filterable table. You can filter by any column, and if the results aren't quite right, rate the output using the thumbs up/down icons to help the system improve
  5. Save for future use: Click Save and choose an existing category or create a new one with a name and description
  6. Schedule and share: Access your saved report to schedule automatic delivery, share it with team members via email, or generate updated snapshots whenever you need current data

The system maintains a history of every report generated from each query, showing you when it was created, who ran it, how many records it returned, and its expiration date. You can execute live queries to see current data without creating a new saved report, or generate fresh reports to capture point-in-time snapshots.

Beyond One-Time Reports

Once you've created a report, you can schedule automatic generation and delivery:

  • Daily: Every day or only weekdays
  • Weekly: Choose specific days and how often (every week, every two weeks, etc.)
  • Monthly: Select a specific day of the month, or patterns like "first Monday" or "last Friday"

Each newly generated report is automatically sent to configured recipients, ensuring stakeholders always have current information without manual intervention.

Why This Matters Now

IT environments are becoming more complex, not less. Hybrid work models mean devices are everywhere. Security threats evolve daily. Software needs constant updates. Device lifecycles are shortening. The volume of data you need to manage keeps growing.

In this environment, the ability to ask questions and get immediate, accurate answers isn't a luxury—it's operational necessity. When a potential security issue emerges, you can't wait days for a report. When executives ask about compliance status, you need answers now. When planning hardware refresh cycles, you need current data, not month-old snapshots.

Create with AI - Reports removes the barrier between having questions and getting answers. It puts data analysis capabilities directly in the hands of the people who understand the questions best. It transforms reporting from a bottleneck into an enabler.

Most importantly, it means your team can spend less time requesting reports and more time acting on insights.

The Bigger Picture

This feature is part of our broader commitment to making workplace management tools accessible to everyone, not just technical specialists. Just as our Create with AI for Microservices lets support teams build automation flows without programming knowledge, Create with AI for Reports puts data analysis capabilities in everyone's hands.

We believe complex technology should solve problems, not create them. Tools should adapt to how people naturally work and think, not require people to learn specialized languages or wait for expert intervention. Intelligence should be accessible, transparent, and practical.

This philosophy guides everything we build. Whether you're automating responses to security incidents with microservices or analyzing device fleet health with reports, the principle remains the same: describe what you need in your own words, and let AI handle the complexity.

Experience It Yourself

Create with AI for Reports was designed to be intuitive from the first use, but we're here to help you get the most from it.
