The Challenge
Building a compelling research report means more than having good data — it means being able to find, organize, and present that data effectively. For most research teams, this process is painfully manual:
- Extracting quotes is time-consuming — researchers must open each data entry, read through transcripts, and manually copy relevant quotes into documents
- Traceability is hard to maintain — when quotes are pulled manually, it’s easy to lose the original source context, weakening the report’s credibility
- Theming takes significant effort — organizing findings by topic or user segment requires cross-referencing multiple projects and data sources
- Report timelines suffer — when extraction takes days, stakeholders receive insights too late to influence active decisions
The result is that research teams spend the majority of their time on data wrangling rather than the analysis and storytelling that drives organizational impact.
The Autohive Solution
By connecting Autohive AI agents to Dovetail, research teams can automate the most time-intensive parts of report building — leaving researchers free to focus on interpretation and strategy.
Structured Insight Retrieval
Agents can retrieve the full content of research insights in markdown format, making it immediately usable in reports, documentation, and presentations without additional formatting work.
Quote Extraction with Source Context
The Dovetail integration enables agents to pull customer feedback highlights and key quotes complete with their original source and tags. Every quote in your report remains fully traceable back to the original research entry.
Project-Level Data Access
Agents can retrieve detailed metadata for specific projects and data entries, providing the context needed to organize findings accurately by theme, project, or time period — a critical step in structuring any meaningful report.
Benefits
- Hours saved per report cycle — Automate quote extraction and insight retrieval that previously took days of manual effort
- Higher report quality — Every finding is properly cited and traceable back to original Dovetail sources
- Faster stakeholder delivery — Condensed turnaround means insights reach decision-makers while they’re still relevant
- More time for real analysis — Researchers can focus on interpretation, not data wrangling
How It Works
- Authorize your Dovetail workspace — Connect Dovetail to Autohive through the marketplace integration
- Define report parameters — Instruct the agent on the project scope, themes, or time period to focus on
- Trigger automated retrieval — The agent accesses Dovetail, extracts insights and quotes in markdown format, and organizes them by theme or project
- Review and refine — Receive a structured draft of findings ready for presentation, with all sources intact
- Deliver faster — Share polished, evidence-backed reports with stakeholders in a fraction of the usual time
