Automated Analyst
Turn a business question into a guided, adaptable analysis plan.
Start with a task or problem statement, supporting documents and the people involved. Automated Analyst suggests a step-by-step timeline using the right Upgraded.today tools, with methods, working models, guides and communication material for each step. Review the plan before starting, then use what you learn to decide whether the remaining steps should change.
Review the suggested timeline, generate a new one, reorder or add steps, then accept it when it fits your task. Starting the timeline creates the related tool initiatives for you.
As you work, record learnings and decisions, attach documents and analyse each step. Automated Analyst can recommend a change to the remaining timeline; you choose whether to accept it or keep the current plan. The decision log keeps that reasoning visible.
Short on time? Forward any email — with your own instructions, attachments and colleagues in cc — to your personal incoming address. Automated Analyst analyses it, identifies the task and stakeholders, drafts a new initiative and emails you a link to review and start it.
Begin with the question, not a blank project plan
Describe the business problem or analyst task in your own words. Add supporting documents and the people or roles involved. Automated Analyst uses this context to suggest a sequence of investigations instead of asking you to choose a method or tool before you understand the problem.
See the whole analysis before you start
The suggested timeline shows which Upgraded.today tool to use at each step and why, along with relevant analyst methods and frameworks, a working model, practical guidance and communication material. Generate a different suggestion, reorder steps or add a tool yourself before accepting the plan.
When you start the timeline, the related initiatives are created in the suggested tools. Open each one from the timeline and work through the analysis there.
Let the evidence reshape what comes next
At each step, record what you learned and decided, and attach relevant documents. Analyse the step to get a conclusion and a suggested next move. If the findings call for a different path, Automated Analyst can propose new remaining steps — but you decide whether to accept the change or keep the existing plan.
The decision log records generated suggestions, status changes and accepted or rejected timeline changes, so the reasoning behind the analysis stays visible.
Send a task by email
Every account gets a personal incoming email address, shown on the account page. Forward an email thread, a brief or a document to it and add your own instructions — for example "The task is to investigate what stakeholders think about this business problem".
- Automated Analyst reads the email, the attachments and the people in To and Cc
- It creates a draft initiative with the task, stakeholders, and suggested steps, tools and methods
- You receive an email with the draft and a link to review, edit and start it
- Only emails sent from your own login email are accepted — everything else is rejected
