Shortcuts AI Reporting FAQs

All of your Shortcuts AI Reporting questions answered.

Shortcuts AI Reporting is a conversational chat assistant built directly into Shortcuts Cloud. You ask plain-language questions about your business revenue, staff performance, rebooking rates, future pipeline, and get instant, structured answers. No report navigation, no exports, no date filters.

No. Shortcuts AI Reporting is included at no extra charge in the Shortcuts Summit package. It is a core part of the subscription, not a paid add-on or separate module. If you are on a different plan, speak to your Customer Success Manager about upgrading to unlock access.

AI Reporting is available exclusively on Shortcuts Cloud. It is not available on on-premises installations. You can access it from any device — desktop, tablet, or mobile — by logging into your Shortcuts Cloud account and clicking the AI Reporting icon.

You can ask anything related to your business performance. Topics include: revenue and ticket averages, staff performance and rebooking rates, retail conversion, upsells, target tracking, payment splits, and the value of future pre-booked appointments.

No. AI Reporting makes your existing reports easier and faster to access — it does not replace them. All underlying reports remain available in full through the Shortcuts Cloud menu.

The AI draws directly from your live Shortcuts reports, so the figures reflect your actual business data in real time. As with any AI-generated output, we recommend verifying numbers independently before using them for significant business decisions. A terms and conditions disclaimer is displayed within the chat interface.

The AI Reporting connects to four core reports in your Shortcuts Cloud menu: Trading Summary, Employee Productivity, Employee Performance, and Targets. It cannot access product or service catalogue data, appointment-level service type breakdowns, or information outside these four reports.
