Verified Artifacts

Artifacts are the finished work you hand to an exec, present to a board, or leave running for a team, not a chat message. Reports, Decks, and Dashboards are Summation’s verified artifacts: built by Addison from your data, saved in a project, and generated from a prompt or a playbook. Verification runs an accuracy check before you share one, tracing every cited figure back to the query behind it. See Verification for how it works. You can also work with the following file types in Summation as well: Once a workbook or page needs a wider audience, ask Addison to rebuild it as a dashboard, deck, or report. It gains full per-figure citations and a dedicated home in the app. You can also upload other files (CSVs, PDFs, PowerPoint, Word docs, and more) into a project and have Addison work with them. They’re just ordinary files rather than artifacts, so they aren’t generated or verified the way the above are. Playbooks (.spb) sit alongside artifacts. A playbook isn’t an artifact itself: it’s the reusable blueprint that produces them, on demand or on a schedule, so a recurring analysis comes out the same shape every time with fresh data. One playbook can produce several artifacts in a single run.

Creating artifacts

There are four ways to create an artifact:

• In a chat with Addison: describe what you want and Addison generates it.
• From its dedicated page: Reports, Dashboards, and Decks each have a create button.
• From a project: use Create in the project’s file list (see Create artifacts from project).
• By running a playbook: each run produces that playbook’s declared outputs.
