Generate Complex Reports with Metal

Metal’s reports feature allows you to run complex, multi-step AI operations on large amounts of company data. You can generate reports on any data that is uploaded to Metal – such as decks, financials, transcripts, and more.

And unlike purely chat based applications, Metal’s reports are not limited by the context window of an LLM. In other words, you can generate reports on a lot of data. Let’s dive in!

What are a few Use Cases?

Reports are as flexible as they are powerful. Here are some common use cases where our customers find reports particularly useful.

1. Streamline information requests: Identify what diligence data you have, and what's missing.
2. Conduct initial ESG diligence: Analyze a company’s governance practices, performance, and risks.
3. Call transcript summarization & insights: Extract key themes, sentiment, and contradictions or inconsistencies between speakers.

Citations & Iterations

Given the amount of data analyzed in Metal’s reports, citing sources is critical to the report experience. This is why every output of the report is cited, allowing users to verify that information is correct before proceeding.
