How does the AI help improve the quality of management reporting packs?

Your papers and reports won’t be AI-written, they will be written by your executives with AI assistance, just like spell-check or grammar tools. Report Writer handles administrative tasks (structure, formatting, gap analysis) whilst executives focus on insight, analysis, and recommendations. The board sees high-quality, decision-ready papers authored by humans with appropriate accountability.

What types of reports can I create using Report Writer?

Report Writer is optimized for all types of board and management reports: CEO reports, CFO financial updates, quarterly performance reviews, strategic proposals, risk reports, committee papers, and management reports. It works with any governance framework and can be customised to your organisation's specific reporting requirements.

How is this different from other AI tools such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot?

Report Writer is purpose-built for board documents using 20 years of governance expertise. Generic AI tools deliver 20-30% time savings as there is significant rework needed, whereas our purpose-built AI board and management report writing solution delivers 60% savings because it understands board governance: what makes a good paper, how to structure strategic content, when to flag missing analysis, and how to maintain decision focus.

Can the AI Report Writer integrate with our existing board and management reporting suite?

Yes. Report Writer works as a Microsoft Word Add-in, integrating seamlessly into your existing productivity suite. If you use Board Intelligence Portal, authors can link drafts to briefs, submit papers directly from Word. The tool fits into your current workflow without requiring new systems or processes.

What about data security? Is this AI report writing software secure and compliant?

Yes. Report Writer operates entirely within your Microsoft 365 environment and our secure, enterprise AI service. Your confidential board data isn't stored by any external AI providers and is never used for training. It's enterprise-grade security built for the exacting standards of board reporting, with ISO27001 compliance.

How long does implementation take?

Report Writer is a Word add-in with no training required.

How is Report Writer different to Lucia AI?

Lucia AI was a standalone platform that has evolved into our new Report Writer as a Microsoft Add-In. For more information, contact your Board Intelligent representative.
