Reporting
Report to video
The recurring report, with the commentary people actually wanted.
Upload the report. Its text is read and drafted into a spoken script you edit down to the movements and the actions, then a presenter you choose delivers it as a finished video alongside the file.
The detail, in plain English
Reports are tables plus commentary. Tables do not speak, so the video carries the commentary: what moved, why, and what happens next.
Because reports repeat, the script becomes a template. Month two is a matter of changing numbers and reasons, not writing a new video.
What to do, step by step
- 1Upload this period's reportPDF or Word both read cleanly, including the commentary sections.
- 2Say three movements and one actionPick the three figures that changed meaningfully, give a reason for each, and name the next step.
- 3Produce and send with the fileChoose a presenter, produce the video, and send it as the covering explanation.
What this format looks like as a video
| Slot | Content | Changes monthly? |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | Period and headline | Yes |
| Movement one | Biggest change plus reason | Yes |
| Movement two | Second change | Yes |
| Movement three | Watch item | Yes |
| Action | What happens next | Sometimes |
| Close | Where the full report sits | No |
A worked example
Worked example (illustration). A 20-page monthly performance report becomes a 90-second video: three movements with reasons, one risk flagged, and a line telling recipients which page to read if they want the detail.
What to watch out for
- Figures must match the attached report exactly — a mismatch undermines both.
- Do not explain the table layout; explain the change it shows.
- Keep the same structure each month so recipients know where to listen.
How AutoPersonify does it
PDF, Word, plain text and Markdown files are read in your browser, and a public web address can be read for you. Everything else is pasted in as text.

Questions people ask
How long does it take?
Twenty minutes for the first month and under ten thereafter, because the structure is reused and only the figures and reasons change.
Can I change the wording?
Yes. Most teams keep a fixed opening and closing and rewrite only the middle, which keeps the series consistent.
What does it cost?
One 90-second video a month is a small part of any plan. Agencies reporting for many clients usually need Growth £149 or Scale £499.
