Plain Reports
Ask a question in plain English, get a saved, shareable report — run by a non-technical operator through a terminal agent; no dashboards, no SQL.
fig. 01 — a question in plain English becomes a saved, shareable, re-runnable report.
What it is
Reporting as a conversation. Someone asks a question in plain English; an AI agent in the terminal answers it using safe, read-only windows into the customer data; the answer comes back as a proper report — summary, table, chart — saved with a link anyone can open.
The person running it is an intern. That is the design, not a compromise: the application’s job is to hand the agent guardrails — scoped access, nothing writable, every report re-runnable and auditable — so that operating it requires judgment, not engineering. It runs without its own AI subscription; the agent someone already uses is the analyst.
What this gives you
Answers at the speed of the question. The backlog of "can someone pull this?" disappears, and what replaces it is a growing library of saved, re-runnable reports — institutional questions with permanent answers.
Why now
The analyst bottleneck was never about difficulty; it was about access and tooling. Agents dissolved the tooling half. What remains is giving them safe hands — which is a one-time build, not a headcount.
The friction today
Dashboard sprawl nobody opens. SQL as a gate between curiosity and answers. Report builders that fight every question that wasn’t anticipated by the vendor. Questions that simply die waiting.
Beyond software
Any organization with a database and questions qualifies — donor records, patient volumes, case loads, bookings. The pattern is "give the agent safe, read-only windows," not "buy a business-intelligence suite and train everyone."

Sound familiar?
Five minutes, out loud. Read the questions, note the answers — or skip the boxes and paste the whole conversation at the end. Export writes a local file; nothing is sent anywhere.
