Your AI Daily Report

How the Insights page turns a finished day into highlights and recommendations — and how to make them sound like they were written for you.

Updated July 31, 2026

Charts tell you what happened. The Insights page tells you what it means: pick a day, and AI writes the honest summary you'd want from a good coach — what went well, where the time leaked, what to try tomorrow.

Generating your first report

Open Insights, pick a date, and click Generate report. Two rules worth knowing up front:

  • Reports cover finished days only. Today is never available — the newest day you can pick is yesterday, because a half-lived day has nothing reliable to say. That's also why your first report unlocks the morning after your first tracked day: if you installed FocusNow today, tomorrow morning is the moment.
  • The day needs data. A day with no tracked activity produces no report — there's nothing to summarize.

    • Generation usually takes a few seconds. If it takes longer, the report is still being prepared in the background — check back shortly. And if it fails, that's almost always temporary: just try again.

    What's in a report

    Every report has two parts:

  • Highlights — the facts of your day, picked for relevance: your total focus, your strongest stretch, where the distraction clustered.
  • Recommendations — concrete suggestions for tomorrow, based on your actual patterns rather than generic productivity advice.

    • Make it sound like you

    Reports are tailored to your role. If you told FocusNow you're a designer during setup, the report reads your day like a designer's day; a student's report cares about different things. You can set or change this anytime in Settings → Account — the Job Title field drives it, and the optional Sector field sharpens it further.

    The more it knows about what you do, the more specific its advice gets — ten seconds to fill in, and every report after it gets sharper.

    What about privacy?

    Report generation runs on our backend using Azure OpenAI Service, inside our own Azure subscription in the EU. Under Microsoft's Azure OpenAI terms, your data is not used to train AI models. The finished report is stored in your account like the rest of your data — exportable and deletable. The details are in our privacy policy.

    Reading reports well

    A report is a mirror, not a grade. The most useful habit we've seen: read yesterday's report before you plan today, and pick one recommendation to act on — usually where to place your first Deep Work session. One followed suggestion beats five admired ones.
