FAQ

FAQ

Common questions and practical answers.

Yes. The AI prompts and report templates can be adjusted to fit your sector, data fields, and preferred structure. You can tweak the categories, narrative tone, and the level of detail in each section. Results are stored in Sheets for easy auditing and reuse.

Data security is handled through encrypted transfers, scoped access, and OAuth2. Data residency depends on the connected services. If you store sensitive information, you can limit inputs to non-critical fields and rotate credentials regularly. The architecture supports compliance needs you specify.

The system can process many languages, but OpenAI and DeepSeek prompts are optimized for English. Non-English data might require prompts tuned for your language and a translated output; you can provide language-appropriate templates to maintain accuracy.

Performance scales with your Google Sheet and API quotas. The AI agent is designed for batch generation, but practical limits depend on API rate limits, sheet size, and email sending limits. You can stagger runs or schedule them during off-peak hours to manage throughput.

HTML for on-screen viewing and a downloadable PDF for sharing. The PDF preserves headings, sections, and layout; you can also export or store HTML in Sheets for archiving. Email delivery can include the PDF as an attachment.

Credentials are configured once in your automation platform. You’ll authorize Google Sheets, the OpenAI API, APITemplate.io, and Gmail via OAuth2 or API keys. The setup includes selecting the correct Google Sheet templates and mapping data fields to the SWOT sections. After setup, you can run the AI agent with a single trigger.

The architecture is modular. You can adapt the data inputs, prompts, and templates to generate other structured reports (for example, PEST analysis or market assessments). You'll reuse the same end-to-end flow: data ingestion, AI-driven structuring, and polished output delivery.
