# Answers & Artifacts — Turn an Answer Into a Dashboard, Site or Report > Ask in plain English, dig deeper when you need to, turn the analysis into a PDF report, then keep it working as a live dashboard, a datasite or an automation. HTML version: https://supaboard.ai/product/answers-and-artifacts Ask once. Keep the answer working. Ask a question, explore the answer, then save the work as artifacts: dashboards, datasites (interactive websites for your data), downloadable reports, and automations for the work that repeats. Example questions: “How do I turn one answer into something my team uses every week?” · “What can I do with an answer once Supaboard gives it?” · “Can I dig into an answer and send it as a report?” · “Can one question become a dashboard, a site and a weekly email?” · “I have revenue by region. How do I keep it in front of the team?” · “How do I share an answer with people who aren’t in Supaboard?” ## Start with a question in plain English _Step 1, reading the question: Start with a question a sales lead would ask: revenue by region last quarter._ AI Analyst reads your connected data and answers with a chart, a short write-up and the query behind it. Ask a follow-up and it keeps the context. [How AI Analyst answers](https://supaboard.ai/product/ask-analysts) ## Dig deeper when one answer isn't enough _Step 2, digging deeper: North is up 14% on Q2. That's worth switching to Max and finding out why._ Use Flash for everyday questions, Pro for deeper analysis, or Max for an investigation that needs planning. Inspect the queries and supporting results as you explore. - Flash, Pro and Max analysis modes - The queries behind each answer, open to inspect ## Turn the analysis into a report _Step 3, writing the report: The finding is worth sending as it stands. Put it in a PDF._ Ask for a report and the conversation becomes a PDF: the charts, the findings and the figures behind them, laid out and ready to send. Ask for a deck or a spreadsheet and you get PowerPoint or Excel instead. - PDF, PowerPoint or Excel - You review the plan before it's built ## Keep it working as a dashboard, a datasite or an automation _Step 4, choosing where it should live: Share the report, or keep the analysis available for ongoing use._ Build these from the connected data and the analysis you already have, so the work doesn't stay in one conversation. - **Track it** ([Dashboards](https://supaboard.ai/product/dashboards)): Follow recurring metrics with charts, tables and filters. - **Present it** ([Datasites](https://supaboard.ai/product/datasites)): Show the data in a custom website with pages and navigation. - **Repeat it** ([Automations](https://supaboard.ai/product/automations)): Run the analysis again on a schedule and deliver what it produces. **Answered in 4 steps.** One question, investigated, written up as a PDF, then saved as a dashboard, a datasite or an automation. Follow-up questions: - [How is a dashboard built from a prompt?](https://supaboard.ai/product/dashboards) - [Who can open a datasite?](https://supaboard.ai/product/datasites) - [What can an automation send?](https://supaboard.ai/product/automations) ## FAQ ### What's the difference between a dashboard, a datasite, an automation and a report? Use a dashboard to track recurring metrics with charts, tables and filters. Use a datasite to present data in a custom website with pages and navigation. Use an automation to repeat an analysis or workflow and deliver what it produces. Use a report or deck to share a downloadable snapshot for a meeting or a handoff. ### Can I get the analysis as a PDF? Yes. Ask for a report in the conversation and Supaboard builds a PDF from it, after you review the plan. You can ask for a PowerPoint deck or an Excel file the same way. ### Do I have to start from a conversation? No. You can describe a dashboard, a datasite or an automation directly. Starting from an answer is the quickest way when you already have the number you want. ### Do they update when the data changes? Dashboards and datasites read your connected sources, so they can show updated figures as those sources update. Automations run when their trigger says to. Downloaded PDF, PowerPoint and Excel files are snapshots: generate a new one when you need newer figures. ### Can Supaboard change my data? Not through analysis. The queries Supaboard runs against your connected databases and warehouses are read-only. An automation sends results out only where you set it to, such as an email or a webhook. --- - Site index for agents: https://supaboard.ai/llms.txt - Sitemap: https://supaboard.ai/sitemap.xml - Blog feed: https://supaboard.ai/blog/rss.xml - Product documentation: https://docs.supaboard.ai Any page on https://supaboard.ai is available as markdown: append `.md` to its path, or send `Accept: text/markdown`.
