What it does

A weekly business review that pulls the key numbers and explains them. The Weekly Business Review agent is the specialist for this job: executive one-pager on sales, assortment and operational highlights with recommendations.

Who it's for

Your team. It runs in the console for your staff and through the REST API. It is a team agent, so it is never exposed to shoppers.

Questions it answers

Ask it in any of our languages, for example:

  • "Prepare this week's business review"
  • "Summarise our top risks this month"
  • "Prepare a one-page update for the CEO"

The live demo shows these as sample prompts in your language, on a fictional store's data.

How it works

  1. It understands the question in the language it was written in, even when your catalog is in another language.
  2. It looks things up with tools, never from memory:
  • Sales analytics by category, channel or period
  • Assortment and range analytics
  • Read-only sql over your retail data (sandboxed per workspace)
  1. It answers from your data, in your brand voice and currency, and shows which tools it used.
  2. Rules stay in code. Prices, eligibility and permissions come from your data and settings; the agent explains them and can't invent them. Why this matters.

The data it needs

Orders, Order lines, Products. As soon as these tables are loaded, the agent is ready to switch on. Files can use your own column names: they're mapped automatically. See Connect your data.

Works well with

  • Peak Trading War Room: A live peak-trading view of sales, stock risks and fulfilment backlog for leadership.

Your team can use them side by side in the console, or call each one through the API.

Turn it on

  1. Load the data it needs.
  2. Install Weekly Business Review from the Agent catalog and add your own instructions (guide).
  3. Test it in the Playground, in every language you serve.
  4. Invite your team or call it from your own systems.
