Building **operational reports with AI** means asking about the data in natural language, instead of manually building a spreadsheet. In **Jestor**, **Chat with Data** queries each process's **dashboard** indicators and answers based on **generative AI**, with no technical knowledge required.

## Why does building an operational report manually take so long?

Building a manual report means pulling data from different sources, cross-referencing information, and formatting everything — work that repeats every time someone needs a new view of the operation.

## What managers are trying to solve?

- Time spent manually building a report for every request
- Reliance on one specific person to extract and cross-reference data
- Difficulty answering quick questions without building a full report
- No standardization across reports built by different people

## How to generate a report from a question?

The question is asked in natural language, and **AI** cross-references the data available in the process dashboard.

| ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ----------------- |
| Manually building a spreadsheet                   | Asking directly about the data       | Chat with Data    |
| Waiting for whoever knows how to extract the data | Immediate answer in natural language | Generative AI     |
| Static report                                     | The query can be redone at any time  | Updated dashboard |

- **Chat with Data** lets you ask about the operation without waiting for a ready-made report
