Stop Rewriting the Same Report Every Week—Let AI Do It

Every week like clockwork, you're writing the same report.
You crack open last week’s update, change a few numbers, tweak some copy, and send it off like it's fresh.
But it’s not. You’re just trapped in the Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V Olympics—again.
Here’s the truth: if you're still writing weekly updates by hand in 2025, you're wasting hours.
AI can write 90% of it for you—faster, cleaner, and without the mental drain.
How One Employee Got Their Friday Back
Meet Sam. He’s a mid-level marketing coordinator who spends every Friday cobbling together campaign reports for the leadership team.
Before:
- Manually checks Google Analytics, Meta Ads, email metrics
- Pastes numbers into a doc
- Spends 45 minutes “writing insights” and comparing to his last report
After:
- Exports his metrics into a Google Sheet
Drops it into ChatGPT with this prompt:
“Summarise this week’s marketing performance. Highlight major wins, underperformers, and next steps.”
ChatGPT spits out:
“Facebook ROAS improved 18% vs last week. Email open rates dipped—testing new subject lines. SEO leads steady. Exploring TikTok next week.”
He tweaks it in 2 minutes, double-checks that data and hits send.
How To Automate Your Weekly Report:
Step 1: Collect Your Inputs
Use Excel, Google Sheets, Trello, Notion, Slack threads—wherever your weekly info lives and copy it.
Step 2: Fire up ChatGPT (or Gemini, Co-Pilot etc.)
Add in the data and prompt:
“Write a weekly [team/project] update based on this info. Include wins, challenges, next steps.”
Step 3: Make your Adjustments
Refine tone and check the details, but make it fast.
Optional: add “Make this sound like me: [example of your past report]” to your prompt.
Step 4: Schedule It
Use a recurring Zap or shortcut that pulls fresh data and sends it to ChatGPT weekly. (We'll do a guide on how to set this up in the future!)
⚡️ Bonus Tips:
- Use ChatGPT’s memory to “remember” your style and format by utilizing the same thread
- Auto-email reports with Gmail + Zapier
- For teams: summarize everyone’s updates into one master doc
Final Word:
You’re not paid to repeat yourself.
You’re paid to think.
Let AI do the typing so you can do the actual work.
Or just leave early. We won’t tell 😉.
