Set the time you prefer to receive it and Reporter sends automatically every day — can be morning (7am, 8am, 9am) to start the day already in context, or evening (7pm, 9pm) to recap what happened. Basic mode simplifies it for those who just want the essential: pick the time and WhatsApp number that receives the briefing. Advanced mode controls cadence (daily, weekdays, weekly, on demand), specific days of week, which conversations to include, format (short text, long text, PDF), summary language (English, Portuguese, Spanish), tone (concise executive, narrative, technical), and even persona ('like an Economist journalist' or 'like a friend telling you everything').
In each conversation Reporter highlights main topics discussed, decisions made with their owners, pending items awaiting action (from you or others), and who mentioned you directly with literal transcription of mentions. If the summary fits within WhatsApp's 4096 characters it comes as direct text in the message. When it exceeds that, it automatically becomes a PDF attachment, formatted in a professional template with table of contents, conversations separated by section, and clickable citation links to original messages. Includes metrics (message count per conversation, peak hours, audio/image count) and a 3-line executive summary at the top for ultra-fast reading.
In groups Reporter applies different heuristics: it knows not every message is directed at you, that group decisions need more context, and that noise is higher. Only highlights direct mentions (your name or reply to you), real decisions (not just opinions), important events (someone left/joined the group, main topic change), and open questions. Doesn't invent direction or force urgency where there isn't any. Revisable history: each briefing is permanently saved. You can reopen any previous delivery via the web panel, download the PDF, or regenerate with different parameters ('do it again, but focusing only on this conversation').
Reporter is a scheduled workflow that triggers via internal cron at the configured time. It collects messages from the desired time window (last 24h by default), filters by selected conversations, groups into contextual batches, and runs through the synthesis pipeline: first a fast model (GPT-4.1-mini) classifies messages by relevance and detects mentions of you, then a reasoning model (Claude Sonnet or GPT-4.1) generates the final structured summary in JSON, which is converted to Markdown and rendered to PDF via Puppeteer when needed. All persisted for review. Average generation cost: ~$0.10-0.20 per briefing depending on volume — included in plan.
Executives receive a 7am briefing with the state of all strategic conversations before the first meeting. Parents read 9pm what happened at the kids' school/activities via groups. Self-employed professionals get the evening version to close the day with clarity on pending items. On-call teams (medical, legal, technical) receive at the start of each shift what happened in the previous one. Investors monitor market groups without being hostage to every 2-minute notification. Founders who travel receive a daily operational version so as not to lose the thread. Influencers monitor mentions in media groups. Anyone receiving 100+ daily messages in relevant conversations.
Reporter uses Insight as a generation engine (same RAG, prompt specialized in executive synthesis), works over connected Sessions, can include Radar items and Tasks pending in the briefing, and has history archived in Files as official delivery. Multiple independent briefings can run at different times for different audiences (e.g., a detailed one for you in the morning, a summarized one for your partner in the evening, both automatically). Multi-channel distribution: WhatsApp (default), email (PDF attachment), Telegram, or webhook to internal systems.
Q: Can I receive it on more than one number? — Yes, by configuring multiple recipients per briefing. Q: Does the briefing include media? — Audio and images are transcribed/described in the text. Videos only have audio transcribed. Q: Can I pause it while on vacation? — Yes, 'paused' mode with 1 click, or pause until a specific date. Q: Does Reporter use my phone's internet? — No, everything runs on the ZapRag server and reaches you as a normal message. Q: Can I see briefings from months ago? — Yes, all history is permanently saved, searchable via Insight ('what did Reporter say about my conversation with Ricardo in March').
