Your Reports, Now With Built-In AI Briefings
We’ve just rolled out a powerful new addition to your automated report delivery workflows — the ability to have your email bodies automatically populated with an AI-generated summary of the reports you’re sending.
This makes it easy to give recipients a concise, professional overview of the report content without having to manually draft it every time.
How It Works
You can now use a special insert token in your email body template:
{%rcx.SummarizeWithAI(reportIndex, [Prompt], [isHtml])}
reportIndex – Required. A 1-based index of the report in the job you want summarized.
Prompt – Optional. A custom instruction for how the summary should be written. Leave blank to use the default style.
isHtml – Optional. Set to true if you want the output formatted as HTML (with paragraphs, bullet points, etc.) for rich-text emails, or false for plain text.
Here is an example of a plain text email summary for the third report in a remiCrystal task of 5 reports:
Hello Team,
Here’s a quick overview of today’s sales performance:
{%rcx.SummarizeWithAI(3,,false)}
Please see the attached full report for details.
And here is an example of an HTML email summary for the first report in a remiCrystal task of 5 reports with a custom prompt:
<p>Hello Team,</p>
<p>Here’s a quick overview of today’s sales performance:</p>
{%rcx.SummarizeWithAI(1, Summarize this for a busy executive, true)}
<p>Please see the attached full report for details.</p>
The resulting email would then look as follows:
Important Notes
File size limit: Summaries can only be generated for reports up to 5 MB in size.
Daily cost cap: API usage is capped at $2 per day across all summaries to keep this feature sustainable for everyone.
Transparency: If you’re sending AI-generated summaries to clients or external recipients, consider adding a note to indicate this — for example:
This summary was generated automatically using AI.
This helps set expectations and ensures recipients understand that the content is a machine-generated interpretation of the report.
Review before sending: While the summaries are generally accurate, they should be treated as a convenience — especially for reports that contain nuanced or sensitive data. Consider copying yourself on all emails that use AI summaries for inspection.
Why Use It?
Save Time – No more manually drafting summaries for each scheduled report.
Consistency – Summaries follow a standard format and tone, unless you specify otherwise.
Flexibility – Control the tone and formatting with a simple optional prompt and HTML toggle.
Convenience – Give your end-users a quick summary of the reports before they view the full details
This feature is available now in your remiCrystal tasks and all you have to do is drag-and-drop the special insert from the remiCrystal function picker into the email body. Give it a try, and let the AI handle the heavy lifting while you focus on insights and decisions.
