Each item that leaves the block carries these fields, to use in the blocks after it as {{field}}.

The report (A4)

In this order, each part only when you include it and the items have it.

Summary: The text an xMap LLM block set to The whole list wrote before this block ({{report}}).
Figures: How many results, their average rating, how many strong fits (score 75 and more), or how many cities or reps.
Charts: Bars by kind (category) and by city, the top 8 of each.
Map: The items with a position, on a map.
The list: The first 100 items with the columns most of them have (name, category, city, rating, score, owner...).

The slides (16:9)

One idea a page, with a band of your colour.

Pages: The title, the figures, what stands out (the summary), the top 8 of the list, the leading kind or city.

After a real run

Saved to Google Drive.

report_link: On each item: the link to the PDF in Drive, for a block after it.

How to use it

Marketing agencies

A monthly competitor report for each client

An agency in London sends each restaurant client a report on the competitors around it on the first of the month.

The xMap LLM block writes the summary; Make a report puts it at the top, with the figures, a map and the list, under the agency’s own logo.

Government and cities

Road closures, weekly, to a shared folder

A city team in Melbourne keeps a weekly record of road closures for the council.

Before: Someone copied a map into a document every Monday.

With the flow: A PDF lands in the council’s folder every week, by itself.

Retail

A board pack on new competitors

Slides keep it to five pages a director reads in a minute.

Real estate

A site brochure for each listing

FMCG distribution

Each rep’s week as a PDF

Banking and payments

New merchants, scored, for the credit committee

The report’s figures count the strong fits, and the list shows each score.

Good to know

A test run says what it would make; Run once and live runs make the PDF and send it.
Emails follow the Email block’s rules: on the Free plan, people at your organization’s email domain; the daily email limit; people who unsubscribed are left out.
The logo and colour are your organization’s (Settings, Logo and colour). Without them, xMap’s design.
The list holds the first 100 items; the figures and charts count them all (up to 2,000).
When places are example data, or travel areas or routes are estimates, the email and the report say so.
Each document (the report, the slides) costs the credits shown above.

Works well with

xMap LLM: Tell the AI what to do in plain words.
Nearby places: Places around a point from xMap’s own places database (300M+ places, refreshed every month): pick the types of place (more than 5,000, such as Restaurant, Cafe, Pharmacy, Hospital or Gas station, or a whole group of them) and how far to look.
Travel area: The area you can reach within a travel time (15 minutes by car) or a distance by road (10 km), on foot, by bike or by car, from each incoming place or from places you pick.
Split by territory: Shares the items out between your reps by area: compact territories of about the same size, so every rep gets a fair share close together.
Route planner: Puts the places that reach it in the best order to visit them in a day, from a start you pick: one route, one for each rep (by a field such as owner), or shared out between a number of reps.
Traffic incidents: Road closures, roadworks and other incidents on online maps right now, with where they are.
Email: Sends one email per run with all the items, or one email per item.
Show on a map: Shows the results as points on a map, with the area of interest.
