AI report pipelines · collect to delivery

Turn information noise into auditable, structured insight.

OctoReport is your AI intelligence pipeline: competitor sites, search, RSS, scholarly APIs, email and webhooks — collected on your schedule and delivered to Lark, Slack, or your inbox, with every conclusion linked back to its source and unsupported claims flagged.

Product tour

Source to report in three steps.

No code, no scripts to glue together. Three screens in the console are the whole pipeline.

OctoReport source wizard: curated presets, AI discovery, batch creation, and manual setup paths

Connect sources

Subscribe to 100+ presets in one click, or configure search, RSS, email, and webhook collectors yourself.

OctoReport template library: pick a template, set basics, configure steps, preview and save

Compose reports

Combine multi-step templates freely — each step can use a different model and cleaning prompt, with outputs feeding forward.

OctoReport report detail: a competitor weekly with S1/S2 citation markers after each conclusion

Get conclusions

Every conclusion carries a source marker you can trace back; unsupported claims are flagged automatically.

Sample reports

See the goods before you sign up.

Open and read — no login needed. Note the citation marks after each conclusion: that is the evidence chain; unsupported claims get flagged.

Capabilities

One stack from collection to delivery — six shipped engineering capabilities.

None of these are demo-ware. Each is a production module that has run thousands of times.

Multi-source ingestion

Google · Jina · Firecrawl search, RSSHub with embedded-plus-external failover, scholarly APIs, GitHub, X, IMAP email, and webhooks — 12 collector types under one spec.

URL-level versioning

Duplicates are detected by normalized URL: a successful re-collection supersedes the old version, a failure only updates the timestamp. Reports read valid versions only, and every change is traceable.

LLM cleaning

Custom prompts plus 10 selectable models. Extract titles, summaries, and key fields while filtering ads and navigation noise — a failed clean never touches the stored original.

Multi-step orchestration

Drag-and-drop step configuration with variable injection ({library:N} {source:N} {step:N-1}); each step can run a different model and cleaning prompt.

Scheduling & delivery

Interval, weekly, or cron schedules with exponential backoff and email notification on failure. Reports are stored as Markdown + HTML and delivered to email, Lark, and Slack.

Audit & billing

LLM billing runs in atomic transactions with row locks and automatic rollback; queue states distinguish RETRYING from FAILED, and every charge traces to a call log.

Comparison

Controllable sources · pipelines · evidence chain · scheduled delivery — no one else combines all four.

Comparison scope: the combination of controllable multi-source ingestion + templated report pipelines + scheduled delivery + claim-level evidence chains.

How it works

From one URL to an auditable report.

Six pipeline stages, each with its own responsibility and observability. A failure explains itself instead of silently leaving your morning report empty.

  1. Configure sources

    Pick a preset or build your own. Search, RSSHub, IMAP email, webhooks, Google Drive, scholarly databases — 12 collector types under one spec.

    URL · schedule · keywords · retry policy

  2. Collect & dedupe

    Collectors run asynchronously in queues with URL-level versioned dedup. A repeat success supersedes the old version; a failure only bumps the timestamp — no dirty data.

    RETRYING / FAILED kept distinct

  3. LLM cleaning

    Optional. Hand the raw text to the model you chose and extract structured fields with a custom prompt, filtering navigation and ad noise.

    Billed separately · failure isolated

  4. Compose templates

    Drag-and-drop steps with variable injection ({library:N} {source:N} {step:N-1}); summary, analysis, and recommendations can each run a different model.

    Ordered · per-step retry

  5. Schedule & deliver

    Interval, weekly, or cron. Reports are stored as Markdown + HTML, persisted automatically, and pushed to email, Lark, or Slack.

    Exponential backoff · low-balance alerts

  6. Audit & observe

    Every LLM call gets its own log, every credit change a transaction record, and every pipeline stage a transparent state machine.

    Row locks · auto-compensation · rollback

Who it’s for

Built as a real product for these teams.

OctoReport is not for everyone who “wants more news” — it is for the researchers, operators, support leads, and compliance teams who must hand in their first summary by 8 a.m.

Industry · Research

Industry research teams

Fold industry media, official-site updates, search results, and feeds into one daily briefing. The LLM extracts events, impact levels, and key evidence; multi-step analysis yields research drafts you can drill into.

e.g. an 8 a.m. daily “industry briefing + three theses”

Academia · Technology

Academia & technology tracking

Aggregate arXiv / bioRxiv / OpenAlex / Semantic Scholar with tech blogs. Keyword subscriptions route new papers and releases into the daily digest; the LLM distills methods, conclusions, and reusable links.

e.g. a daily LLM digest plus key-author tracking

Ops · Support

Operations & customer support

Settle support inboxes, inbound webhooks, product updates, and customer feedback into a content library, aggregated weekly by theme. The team sees issue trends, progress, and next-step suggestions.

e.g. Monday’s “feedback themes + open items”

Compliance · Briefing

Compliance & internal briefings

Orchestrate policy updates, internal announcements, industry news, and hand-uploaded documents into recurring briefings. Every output keeps its sources, billing, and generation trail for review.

e.g. Friday’s “compliance updates + items to confirm”

FAQ

A few things you might want to ask first.

Not covered? Email [email protected] — we reply within one business day.

Do I need to write code?

No. 100+ built-in source presets work out of the box — pick a template, add a keyword, done. If you want custom collectors or multi-step LLM orchestration, the visual editor covers that too (still zero code).

How many credits does a report cost?

It depends on source count, article length, and the models you pick. A Chinese daily briefing over 50 sources — gpt-4o-mini for summaries plus claude-3.5-sonnet for synthesis — costs roughly 80–150 credits. Billing is per-token, with a balance pre-check that prevents overdrafts.

Who owns the collected data?

You do, entirely. Multi-tenancy enforces userId filtering on every query, API keys are stored AES-256-GCM encrypted, and organization visibility is fine-grained. You can export raw JSON at any time.

Can I use OpenAI or Anthropic from mainland China?

Yes. We provide proxied access to OpenAI and Anthropic, and first-class support for domestic models such as DeepSeek, Qwen, and Moonshot. Google Search is blocked in China, so we fall back through Jina / Tavily / Metaso.

Do failed collections or reports still cost credits?

No. LLM billing runs in atomic transactions with row locks — a failed charge rolls back or compensates automatically. A failed collection only updates its timestamp and never touches credits. Every charge traces back to a concrete call log.

Can reports be delivered to Lark, Slack, or email?

Yes. Reports are delivered on schedule to Lark groups (card messages), Slack channels (Blocks format), and inboxes (HTML email with custom SMTP). The reverse direction works too: IMAP email ingestion, token-authenticated inbound webhooks, and mentioning the bot in a Lark group can trigger report generation directly.

Give it 30 minutes and slot it into your team’s morning routine.

Sign up and run on real data. Get your first collector live and your first report in your inbox — not a demo, but the report you will actually read next Monday at 8 a.m.
