[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]You know the report you need: hours per epic, open bugs by priority, what the team finished last sprint. What slows you down is the setup. Which field holds the epic? Which grouping, which filter, which chart?<\/p>\n

Report Builder<\/a> now has its own AI assistant in Rovo. You describe the report in plain words, and the assistant builds it on live Jira data. Nothing is created until you review the plan and confirm it.<\/p>\n

This article walks through both kinds of reports the assistant builds, with the exact requests we used.[\/vc_column_text][heading title=”Watch it in 2\u00bd minutes” heading=”h2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hI_2Z2qFNDc” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]The video shows one request turning into a bar chart, a follow-up change made by chatting, and a scripted report with KPI tiles. The steps below follow the same order.[\/vc_column_text][heading title=”Two kinds of reports, one conversation” heading=”h2″][vc_column_text css=””]The assistant builds two kinds of reports. Both open in Report Builder and run on live Jira data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/th>\nUniversal Visual Builder report<\/th>\nScripted report<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
What you get<\/strong><\/td>\nBar, pie and doughnut charts, pivot tables, simple tables and single numbers, built from your Jira fields<\/td>\nA page with its own code: KPI tiles, custom layouts, any chart<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Best for<\/strong><\/td>\nQuestions a standard chart or table answers<\/td>\nA one-page summary or a layout no pivot can produce<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Changing it later<\/strong><\/td>\nLike any Universal Visual Builder report: switch the chart, rearrange fields, add new ones<\/td>\nUsers change the settings the script exposes as inputs. Adding inputs or changing the code needs the Scripted Reports Creator permission<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Start with a Universal Visual Builder report. Ask for a scripted report when a standard chart does not answer the question.[\/vc_column_text][heading title=”From question to chart in five steps” heading=”h2″][vc_column_text css=””]1. Open the assistant.<\/strong> In Report Builder, click AI<\/strong> in the header, next to the logo. The Rovo panel opens on the right with the Report Builder Assistant<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14825″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]2. Say what you need.<\/strong> Type the request in plain words and press Enter:<\/p>\n

Show hours logged per epic in Nova Commerce as a bar chart, biggest first<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3. Check the plan.<\/strong> Before anything is created, a Please review<\/strong> card shows the plan: name, visualization, rows and columns, measures, sort order and scope. If it is right, click Confirm selected<\/strong>. If not, cancel and rephrase.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14849″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]4. Open the report.<\/strong> A Your report is ready<\/strong> notification appears. Click Open<\/strong>: the chart and its numbers, calculated on live Jira data.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14833″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]5. Adjust it by chatting.<\/strong> Reply in the same conversation:<\/p>\n

Show it in days instead of hours<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The change goes through the same review card. A different chart, another grouping, a date filter or a new sort order work the same way.<\/p>\n

Save it.<\/strong> The report is a draft until you click Add to My Reports<\/strong>. Drafts expire after 24 hours. A saved report is an ordinary Report Builder report: share it, export it or put it on a Jira dashboard.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14837″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]Edit it like any report.<\/strong> Click Edit<\/strong>, switch the chart type in Set chart and fields<\/strong>, drag fields to rearrange them or add new ones. You can also keep asking the assistant: it changes the report you have open instead of making a copy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14839″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=””][heading title=”When a chart is not enough: scripted reports” heading=”h2″][vc_column_text css=””]Some questions need a page, not a chart. Ask the same way and say you want a scripted report:<\/p>\n

Build a custom scripted report for Nova Commerce: a one-page summary with total hours, finished issues and a weekly hours chart<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The assistant writes the code. The review card shows the name, a summary, the project and the script; you only need to check the summary and confirm. The result is the page you described: KPI tiles and a weekly chart.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14841″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]Scripted reports are edited differently:<\/p>\n
