What is Outdated.Report?

Outdated.Report is an AI-powered tool that helps you automate repetitive report creation. Upload an existing report as a template, add your source data, and our AI generates a new report matching your format in seconds.

Quick Start Guide

1. Create an account - Sign up for free at outdated.report/auth/signup
2. Go to Create - Click "Create" or "New Report" in the navigation
3. Upload a template - Upload an existing report (PDF, Excel, etc.) that shows your desired format
4. Upload source data - Upload the data files containing the information for your new report
5. Generate - Click "Generate Report" and wait for the AI to process
6. Review & Download - Preview your report, make refinements if needed, and download

Step 1: Upload Your Template

The template is an example report that shows the AI what format you want. This could be:

• A previous report you created manually
• A sample or example document
• A blank form or template with the structure you need

The AI will analyze the layout, styling, sections, and field placements from your template.

Step 2: Upload Source Data

Source data contains the actual information to populate your report. This could be:

• Excel/CSV files - Spreadsheets with data tables
• JSON files - Structured data exports
• Text files - Raw text data
• Images - Logos, signatures, or photos to include

You can upload multiple source files. The AI will extract relevant data from all of them.

Step 3: Generate & Review

Once you click "Generate Report", our AI will:

1. Analyze your template structure
2. Extract data from your source files
3. Map the data to the template fields
4. Generate a complete report

After generation, you can preview the report, use AI chat to make refinements, and download in your preferred format.

What are Patterns?

Patterns are saved report templates that you can reuse. When you generate a report that you like, you can save it as a pattern to use again with different data.

Saving a Pattern

1. Generate a report that matches your needs
2. In the preview, click "Save as Pattern"
3. Give it a name and optional description
4. Click Save

Your pattern will be available in the Patterns tab.

Using a Saved Pattern

1. Go to the Patterns tab
2. Find your saved pattern
3. Click "Use Pattern"
4. Upload your new source data
5. Generate your report

The AI will use your saved pattern as the template, so you don't need to upload the original template file again.

Using AI Chat

After generating a report, you can use the AI chat to make refinements:

• "Make the header blue instead of gray"
• "Add a summary section at the top"
• "Make the table more compact"
• "Change the font to be more professional"

The AI will modify your report based on your instructions while preserving the data.

Edit Mode

For direct changes, you can switch to Edit mode in the preview:

• Preview - See the final rendered report
• Edit - Modify the HTML code directly

Edit mode is useful for quick fixes like correcting typos or adjusting specific values.
