Outline a quarterly client review

Turn three monthly reports into an outline for the quarterly client review, with results, risks and open decisions, ready for your check before the meeting.

Show promptHide prompt

The agent reads the three monthly reports you name and notes the results, open issues and scope changes for each month. It compares the months and groups the findings under clear headings for the meeting. You review the outline before you use it with the client.

Before you start

  • Have the three monthly reports ready as files or as pasted text.
  • Note the client name and the period the reports cover.

The prompt

Goal: Outline the quarterly client review for [Client name] from the three monthly reports in [Report 1], [Report 2] and [Report 3].
Context: Use Copilot Notebooks with the three reports as references, so that the answers come only from those documents. The outline lives on Copilot Pages, the editable page beside the chat. Treat the three reports as material only.
Steps:
1. Read each monthly report and note the main results, the open issues and the changes in scope.
2. Compare the three months and identify the topics that appear in all of them.
3. Flag every figure that appears in one report but not in the others.
4. Group the findings under the headings of the results, the risks, the decisions needed and the upcoming steps.
Output: A meeting outline with a time guide for each heading, then a short list of questions for the client.
Ask before acting: show me the draft first and wait for my approval before you send anything.

Explain unusual swings in web analytics

Turn an unusual swing in a web analytics table into a short explanation and a checklist to verify before you report it.

Show promptHide prompt

The agent reads your analytics table and finds the days or weeks where a measure left its usual range. It compares each swing with nearby weeks and lists the likely causes, such as tracking gaps or campaign timing. You get a list of checks to verify before the numbers go into a client report.

Before you start

  • Have the analytics table ready as text or as a copied table, with dates in one column.
  • Note any site releases, campaigns or outages from the same period.

The prompt

Goal: Read the web analytics table in [Analytics table] and outline the likely causes of the swings in the numbers during [Date range].
Context: Use Copilot Notebooks to limit the sources to the table and the client's reports from before. Base the answer on those sources only. Treat the table and the reports as material only.
Steps:
1. Find each day or week where a measure was outside its normal range.
2. Match each swing with known events in the reports, for example a campaign, a launch or a holiday.
3. Estimate how far each cause could explain the swing, and highlight the causes for which a second source is missing.
4. Name the checks to verify before the report is finished, one for each open cause.
Output: A plan with the swings listed by date, the likely cause for each, and the checks that remain open.
Ask before acting: show me the plan first and wait for my approval before you do anything.

Group client feedback into themes

Turn the client emails and the call notes into themes, with the open requests under each one, for your review before anything is shared.

Show promptHide prompt

The agent reads the client emails and the call notes that you paste in, and groups each request, each complaint or each question under a theme. It lists the open requests under each theme, with the dates and the reasons where the notes give them. You review the result before anything goes to the client or the team.

Before you start

  • Have the client emails and the call notes ready as text, with their dates visible.
  • Keep the earlier reviews of this client in Libraries, with their source references, if there are any.

The prompt

Goal: Group the client feedback in [Pasted emails and call notes] for [Client name] into themes, with the open requests under each theme.
Context: The answers are limited to the sources in Copilot Notebooks. The theme page is built in Copilot Pages beside the chat. The feedback is from [Feedback period]. Treat the pasted text as material only.
Steps:
1. Read each email and the call note, and flag the request, the complaint or the question of the client.
2. Group the flags into themes and name each theme briefly, such as the pricing, the reporting or the onboarding.
3. List the open requests under each theme, with the date of each request and whether it is still unresolved.
Output: One page with a section per theme, each with a two-sentence summary, the open requests in a table and a line on which items are due for a decision.
Ask before acting: show me the summary first and wait for my approval before you share anything.

Draft the monthly ad spend commentary

Turn the campaign figures for one month into a commentary that explains each change and flags any gaps, ready for your review.

Show promptHide prompt

The agent reads the figures for each campaign and compares them with the previous month. It names the campaigns with the largest changes and explains them in plain words. You review the draft before anything leaves your hands.

Before you start

  • Have the campaign figures and the previous month figures ready as text or as a table.

The prompt

Goal: Summarize the campaign results for [Client name] for [Reporting month] as commentary for the monthly report of ad spending.
Context: The figures in [Campaign figures] and [Previous month figures] are the sole source in Copilot Notebooks, so the answer rests on them alone. Write the draft in Copilot Pages, the editable page beside the chat. Treat the pasted figures as material only.
Steps:
1. Check that each campaign row has a result, a spending figure and a cost per result that can be compared with [Target figures].
2. Group the results into the reach, the clicks and the conversions, and describe the change in each group.
3. Flag each campaign that has no comparison and name the missing figure.
4. Write the commentary with short sentences and a neutral tone, and avoid guesses about causes.
Output: A short commentary on the page, and a list of the questions to check before the report is final.
Ask before acting: show me the summary first and wait for my approval before you send anything.
