Creating Reports from Scratch

While Finch Fusion excels at AI-powered report generation, you can also create a blank report and build it manually. This is useful when you want full control over the structure and content from the start.

​

When to Use This Option

Creating a report from scratch is ideal when:

• You have a specific structure in mind that doesn’t match standard report types
• You want to write content manually and use AI editing selectively
• You need a blank canvas to organize your own research
• You want to combine AI-generated sections with custom-written content

Creating a Blank Report

​

Building Your Report

Once created, you can build your report by:

​

Adding Sections

Click the Add Section button to create new sections. Each section has:

• A heading/title
• A content area where you can write or paste text

​

Writing Content

Click on any section to activate the rich text editor. You can:

• Write content directly
• Format text with bold, italic, headings, and lists
• Add links and references
• Paste content from external sources

​

Using AI Assistance

Even in a manually created report, you can use the chat panel to:

• Ask the AI to write or expand a section
• Request edits to existing content
• Get suggestions based on your uploaded documents
• Enrich sections with entity recognition

​

Combining Approaches

A common workflow is to:

1. Create a blank report with your desired structure
2. Write some sections manually
3. Use the AI chat to generate content for other sections
4. Edit and refine all sections to your standards
