# Reports

> Downloadable deliverables Dexter builds for you — branded PDFs, Excel workbooks, Word documents, and PowerPoint decks.

## Overview

Reports are downloadable deliverables [Dexter](/product/ai-assistant) builds for you — PDFs to circulate, Excel workbooks to work with, Word documents to edit, PowerPoint decks to present. A report generated during a conversation appears immediately in the **Reports** chip of the dock above the message composer, and every report is saved to the **Reports** tab of the [Data page](/product/data-overview) so you can find it again later.

## Supported Formats

| Format                   | When Dexter uses it                                                                       |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PDF**                  | Polished, branded documents meant to be **read** — reports, briefs, stakeholder summaries |
| **Excel** (`.xlsx`)      | Structured data meant to be **worked with** — filtered, pivoted, formula-fed              |
| **Word** (`.docx`)       | Editable documents you'll **revise before sending** — draft memos, handoffs               |
| **PowerPoint** (`.pptx`) | Branded decks meant to be **presented** — stakeholder reviews, walkthroughs               |

<Note>
  Word (`.docx`) is fully supported — ask for one whenever you want a deliverable you can edit yourself.

## The Design System

Every PDF and every deck Dexter delivers follows the **PRODEX design system** — executive, numbers-first, clarity first. It's a shared visual chassis: typography and color tokens, cover pages, running headers and footers, stat callouts, table styles, and a common chart style. Two PDFs from Dexter, months apart, on different subjects, look like they came from the same organization — because they did.

* **PDFs and decks** always carry the design system.
* **Excel and Word** don't — Excel is data-first, and Word is meant to be edited freely.

<Info>
  Every report also carries a short AI disclaimer, so anyone it gets forwarded to knows how it was produced.

## Creating a Report

Ask at any time:

* *"Generate a PDF summary of the last simulation run."*
* *"Export the bottleneck analysis as an Excel workbook."*
* *"Put this together as a deck for Thursday's review."*
* *"I need a Word draft of the recommendations that I can edit."*

Dexter also **suggests** a report at natural moments — after a substantial analysis, a scenario comparison, or an [experiment](/product/experiments) — as a one-sentence offer at the end of its response. If you don't want it, ignore it. When you don't specify a format, Dexter picks the obvious one (PDF for a narrative summary, Excel for a data export) or asks.

## Finding and Downloading Reports

* **In the conversation** — the **Reports** chip in the dock above the composer shows every deliverable the conversation has produced; click one to preview or download it.
* **Later, from anywhere in the factory** — open the **Reports** tab on the [Data page](/product/data-overview). Every report Dexter has generated in this factory is listed with its filename and date.
* **Downloaded copies are yours** — they're ordinary files with no link back to ProDex, ready to share with people who don't use the platform.

## Reports vs. User Files

* **Reports** are files *Dexter* produces for you to download and share.
* **[User files](/product/dexter/user-files)** are files *you* attach for Dexter to read.

Both live on the [Data page](/product/data-overview) — deliverables under **Reports**, uploads under **My Data**.
