What it does
Automatically turn databases, APIs, analytics platforms into scheduled reports, pushed to your Telegram/Discord/email.
No more manual data copying across platforms. LLM auto-detects anomalies and trends. Reports arrive at 8 AM daily.
Skills You Need
- biz-reporter - Business report generation skill with multi-source data collection
- ga4-analytics - Google Analytics 4 data extraction and reporting
- sql-agent - Database query and aggregation capability
Pain Point
Weekly reports take 4 hours. 3.5 hours wasted on data copying.
Login to GA4, Stripe, database, copy-paste to Excel. Miss one platform? Start over. n8n/Zapier need flow diagrams, break on API changes. BI dashboards require manual login—easy to forget when busy.
Core value of this case
Cut weekly reporting from 4 hours to 15 minutes.
Agents auto-collect all data sources. LLM spots anomalies (revenue dropped 20%), trends (product sales spiking). Auto-retry on failures. Add new platforms by editing prompts, not code.
Real user: Agency scaled from 10 to 25 clients without hiring.
Typical scenarios
Daily Business Briefing
Need: Executives want yesterday's DAU, revenue, orders at 8 AM. Compiling from 5 systems takes 90 minutes.
Setup: cron 0 8 * * *, fetch PG/GA4/Stripe/SendGrid, generate metrics table + anomaly flags, push to Slack.*
Result: 8 AM briefing auto-arrives, team scans it during coffee.
Weekly Marketing Report
Need: Friday afternoon summarize Google Ads, Facebook Ads, GA4 performance, find best/worst campaigns.
Setup: cron 0 17 * * Fri, pull 3 platforms, rank by ROAS, email suggestions to marketing-team.
Result: Marketing team saves 4 hours/week, focuses on strategy.
Multi-Client Agency Reports
Need: Serve 20+ clients, each needs custom weekly report (different KPI weights). Account managers spend 60% time reporting.
Setup: cron 0 9 * * Mon, iterate config/clients.yaml, apply per-client KPI configs, email separately.
Result: Scaled from 10 to 25 clients, no new hires.
E-commerce Inventory Alerts
Need: Daily check which products stock < 10, which sales suddenly spike.
Setup: cron 0 7 * * *, query database, @inventory-team for stockouts, post winners to ops channel.*
Result: Ops team knows before stockouts hurt revenue.
