Weekly Report Channel
ZhouBaoTong, an intelligent tool focused on AI-driven writing.
Tags:AI writing toolsWhat is Zhoubao Tong?
ZhouBaoTong is a Chinese-language AI tool for creating weekly reports, designed for professionals. Users only need to enter the tasks they have carried out during the week, and the system will automatically categorize them, add relevant context, and format them into a well-structured weekly work report.
As of August 2026, tests have shown that the current website can be used directly, without the need for registration or installation. It is better suited for turning the key points of actual work into a preliminary draft, rather than fabricating results for users in the absence of factual data.
Core features of the current version
- Summary of key points: Convert one or more work entries into a complete weekly report.
- Automatic topic categorization: Identifies project progress, collaboration and communication, outcomes, issues, and plans.
- Three tones: You can choose between a formal, straightforward, or lively style of expression.
- Three lengths: offers concise, standard, and detailed output options.
- Stream-based generation: The content is displayed gradually as it is being created, so there is no need to wait for the entire text to be ready.
- Structured outline: The content is organized according to an overview of this week, key tasks, collaboration and communication, issues and reflections, and plans for next week.
- Copy entire text: The plain text content can be copied directly after it is generated.
- Markdown export: Download a weekly report file that can be further edited and archived.
- Lark format copying: Converts titles and lists into a text format that is more suitable for pasting into Lark.
- Regenerate: Keep the original input and options, and create a different version.
Input and output structures
| Stage | Current rules | Usage suggestions |
|---|---|---|
| Enter key work points | The page displays up to 500 characters. | Write down facts, results, data, collaborators, and progress. |
| Tone | Formal, straightforward, lively | Choose based on the reporting audience and team culture |
| Length | Simplified, standardized, detailed | Use the standard version first, then adjust it according to the length. |
| Text structure | Five fixed themes | Delete the paragraphs that do not correspond to the actual situation this week. |
| Result format | Web rich text, plain text, Markdown, Lark format | Select Copy or Export based on the submission method. |
| Generation method | Flow-based return | Do not click the button repeatedly during generation. |
How to create a weekly report
- First, list the actual tasks completed this week from the task system, calendar, meeting records, and chat history.
- Condense the details into short sentences, making sure to clearly state the action, the subject, the result, and the current progress.
- Paste the key points into the input field, making sure they do not contain any trade secrets or sensitive personal information.
- Choose a formal, plain, or lively tone depending on the audience.
- Choose between concise, standard, or detailed length based on the reading time.
- Click to generate the complete weekly report; wait as the five topics are generated one after another.
- Check each item regarding facts, figures, responsibility assignments, and next week’s plans.
- Copy the entire text, copy it in Lark’s format, or export it as Markdown, and then carry out the final formatting.
How to write better inputs
- Each task begins with a verb, such as complete, repair, review, launch, follow up, or reflect.
- Additional verifiable results, such as completion rate, quantity delivered, scope of impact, or time saved.
- Distinguish between completed, in progress, delayed, and pending confirmation to prevent the model from misjudging the progress.
- Indicate the key collaborators, but do not include unnecessary names and contact information.
- Indicate the problems encountered, the measures taken, and the matters that still require support.
- Provide the actual plans and priorities for next week, so that the model does not have to guess the tasks on its own.
- After creation, remove generic phrases and condense the key points so that managers can read them quickly.
Input examples and optimization methods
| Input type | Not clear enough wording | A more effective way of writing it |
|---|---|---|
| Project progress | A new version has been created. | The requirements review for the new version has been completed; 12 requirements have been confirmed and development has begun. |
| Issue fixed | Fixed a few issues. | Fixed the issue with coupon retrieval failing; completed regression testing and deployed the solution. |
| Design work | The page has been created. | Completed the interactive drafts for the 3 pages of the registration process and passed the product review. |
| Data analysis | Checked the data | Analyze the conversion data from the past four weeks to identify the rise in abandonment rates on the settlement page. |
| Team collaboration | Many meetings were held. | Organize cross-departmental requirement meetings to identify the persons responsible for the interfaces and the delivery dates. |
| Plans for next week | Continue to move forward | Complete interface integration testing, grayscale validation, and post-launch review next week. |
What components are included in the generated result?
1. This week’s overview
The system will first provide an overview of the main points of work for the week, allowing readers to quickly understand the key aspects. When too few tasks are entered, this summary may be rather general in nature.
2. Main tasks
The main tasks are organized into groups based on specific assignments or projects, with objectives, processes, and results specified for each group. The details provided by the model need to be verified; reasonable assumptions should not be treated as facts.
3. Collaboration and communication
This section is used to organize cross-departmental collaboration, reviews, meetings, and communication progress. If no collaboration information is provided, the content added by the model should be deleted.
4. Problems and Reflections
The system may infer risks, issues, and areas for improvement based on the tasks. This information can serve as a guide for reflection, but it does not necessarily reflect the actual problems faced by the user.
5. Plans for next week
Next week’s plans are usually presented in an ordered list. To avoid creating tasks that are not part of the schedule, it is best to specify the plans and their priorities when entering the information.
How to choose among the three tones
| Tone | Expression characteristics | Suitable scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Formal | Standardized wording and clear structure | Report to management, clients, or the official project team |
| Simple | Direct and natural, with fewer embellishments. | Weekly team reports and daily updates |
| Lively | The tone is more relaxed and approachable. | Creative team and informal retrospectives |
Tone options only change the way something is expressed; they do not improve the accuracy of the facts. In formal situations, it is still necessary to manually verify names, numbers, and commitments.
How to choose among the three lengths?
| Length | Features | Suggested uses |
|---|---|---|
| Streamline | Keep the key points and reduce explanations. | There are few tasks to carry out, or the manager only looks at the summaries. |
| Standard | Take into account the process, outcomes, and plans. | Most individual and team weekly reports |
| Details | Add more background and explanations. | Complex projects, phase reviews, or when documentation is required |
The detailed mode is more prone to repetition and speculation; a longer length does not necessarily indicate higher quality of information. When only one or two entries are provided, it is preferable to use the concise or standard mode.
Export and copy methods
- Copy full text: Suitable for pasting into emails, chats, documents, and internal systems.
- Export to Markdown: retains headings and list markers, suitable for knowledge bases, code repositories, and note-taking apps.
- Copy the Lark format: Convert subheadings into prominent markers, and convert lists into bullet points.
- Regenerate: The same set of key points can be expressed in another way, but the result is not necessarily more accurate than the first one.
- Return to edit: It is possible to adjust the input, tone, and length before generating again.
- The text on this page mentions the Lark and DingTalk formats, but the available action buttons offer Markdown and the Lark format primarily.
Prices and free usage options
As of August 2026, the official website does not display information related to members, points, package counts, or corporate plans; there are also no options for logging in or making payments. It has been tested and found that it is possible to submit the necessary details directly to generate a weekly report, so this service can be considered free of charge for now.
| Project | Current status | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Web page generation | Available for free | It can be generated without the need for registration. |
| Account system | No findings were detected. | The current page does not have a login function or a personal center. |
| Member packages | Not announced | There is no public price list for members. |
| Number of generations | Not disclosed | There may be restrictions on request frequency or service capacity. |
| Markdown export | Available for free | Files are generated and downloaded by the browser. |
| Copy in Lark format | Available for free | Copy to a text format suitable for pasting. |
| Cost of private deployment | Bear the cost yourself. | Model invocation, deployment, domain names, and operational resources are required. |
The free status does not mean unlimited use forever. The service provider may adjust the number of uses, available functions, or the pricing model based on costs associated with the services, volume of access, and product strategies; it is therefore necessary to refer to the current status displayed on the page before using the service.

- The output structure is relatively fixed and may not conform to the weekly report template of each company.
- The model will add background and details, and may also include information that does not exist.
- When there are too few items, the results tend to contain vague statements and repeated content.
- There are no account features, history tracking, team space, or template management options.
- There are no visible direct Lark or DingTalk publishing connections.
- The official website does not provide any guarantees regarding the availability of the service or the number of times it can be used.
- The name of the current model and its supplier are not clearly indicated on the new version of the page.
- The generation speed is affected by the model service and network conditions.
- The free status and product features may change depending on operational strategies.
- The old open-source repository does not represent all the code of the current online version.
- High-risk or formal reports must be submitted after being reviewed by the user.
Fact-checking checklist
- Is the project name identical to the company’s official internal name?
- Whether statuses such as completed, launched, approved, and delivered are accurate.
- Are the quantity, ratio, amount, date, and version number accurate?
- It is important to ensure that the outcomes of collaborative efforts are properly attributed to the relevant teams and members.
- Are there any evidences for the reasons, impacts, and conclusions underlying the model?
- Whether the problem description could mislead managers or reveal unnecessary information.
- Has the plan for next week been scheduled and given the necessary resource support?
- Have the clichés, repetitive content, and excessive self-praise been removed?
Privacy and sensitive information
The new version of the page indicates that the text entered is used solely for the current generation process and will not be stored permanently by the service. The privacy notes in the page’s script state as well that the text is sent to a large AI model for processing; therefore, choosing “do not save” does not mean that the text will not be processed by a third party.
- Do not submit passwords, keys, identification documents, or personal contact information.
- Do not submit unpublished lists of clients, quotes, or contract details.
- Replace unnecessary real names with generic terms for roles or departments.
- Use ranges or percentages to replace precise amounts that need not be disclosed.
- First, mask the source code, logs, and vulnerability information.
- When dealing with medical, legal, financial, and HR-related information, use the tools approved by the company as a priority.
- Check the clipboard before pasting to ensure there are no hidden fields or unnecessary content in it.
- The final document must also have its storage and sharing scope determined in accordance with the company’s policies.
GitHub and the open-source status
The Weekly Report tool features a public code repository; its earlier versions were developed by building upon another project named Weekly Report. The repository explains that GPT models and edge functions are used to generate weekly reports, and it allows the deployers to specify their own model keys and model names.
The public repository page does not display any clear information regarding the software license; it is therefore not possible to assume that the code can be used for commercial purposes, redistributed, or used for hosting services just because it is visible. The page structure, generation interfaces, and export functions on the current website also differ significantly from those described in the earlier versions of the repository.
| Project | Public status | How should it be understood? |
|---|---|---|
| Current online weekly report channel | Web services are available. | It has not been confirmed whether it is fully open source. |
| zhoubaotong repository of alvinxdev | The source code is publicly available. | In the earlier versions, no explicit license was available. |
| guaguaguaxia’s weekly_report | Upstream projects made public | The early warehouse statements in the weekly report were based on its secondary development. |
| Model services | Configured by the deployer or operator. | It incurs call costs and is subject to the supplier’s rules. |
| Current online backend | No complete source code explanation was found. | The current model and data processing details cannot be inferred from the old warehouse. |
What is required for self-deployment?
- First, check the licenses of the public repositories and upstream projects, as well as their dependency licenses and commercial usage rights.
- Prepare a development environment that supports Node.js and install the project dependencies.
- Select a compatible model service and create a separate key dedicated to this project.
- Configure the key, model name, and whether to use a user key in the environment variables.
- Start it locally and test Chinese input, streaming responses, error handling, and frequency limits.
- Deploy it on a platform that supports server-side functions, and ensure that the keys are not exposed to the browser.
- Add content security, access control, log masking, and cost limits.
- Add a privacy policy, terms of use, and data deletion mechanism before going live.
Cost of self-deployment
| Cost items | Main influencing factors | Control method |
|---|---|---|
| Model invocation | Input/output length, model unit price, number of generations | Limit the length, select an appropriate model, and set a budget. |
| Application hosting | Traffic volume, function execution time, and data flow | Use caching, rate limiting, and scale-out as needed |
| Domain names and certificates | Domain name renewal and maintenance methods | Set expiration reminders and use automatic renewal. |
| Development and maintenance | Template modification, dependency upgrading, and fault handling | Fix the version and establish a testing process. |
| Security and compliance | User type, data sensitivity, and location | Data minimization, access control, and legal assessment |
Differences from general AI chat tools
| Comparison items | Weekly Report Channel | Universal AI chat tool |

| Operation method | Fill in the key points and choose the tone and length. | Through multiple rounds of prompt-based dialogue |
| Output structure | Fixed five-part weekly report | The structure can be specified freely. |
| Learning cost | Low, suitable for quick generation. | It is necessary to write and iterate on the prompts. |
| Template flexibility | Lower | Usually higher |
| Export | Copy in Markdown and Lark format | It depends on the specific product. |
| History and knowledge base | Not available at the moment | Some products are supported. |
| Key applicable points | First draft of the weekly report | Writing, analysis, and multitasking collaboration |
How to determine whether it’s worth using
- It is only necessary to quickly create a preliminary draft of the personal weekly report, and the operational cost of ZhoubaoTong is very low.
- When a company template has a structure of nearly five parts, it is easier to make direct modifications to the results.
- When custom fields, approval processes, and historical statistics are required, the team weekly report system should be chosen.
- When the material contains sensitive information, solutions that have been approved by the company or those that can be deployed privately should be used preferentially.
- When precise control over the wording is required, the exported results can be placed in a document for further editing.
- When it is necessary to aggregate multiple weekly reports in bulk, the functions available on this webpage may not be sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the weekly report service free?
As of August 2026, it is possible to create a website on the official site without logging in, and there are no options for displaying member information or for making payments. Whether there will be limits on the number of times such websites can be created or whether fees will apply depends on the information displayed on the page at that time.
Is it necessary to register an account?
It is not necessary at the moment. There is no login step on the page; the content can be generated simply by entering the key points.
Does the weekly report summary save the entered content?
The page description is generated solely for this purpose and will not be stored permanently by the service; however, the text still needs to be sent to the large model for processing. Sensitive work materials should not be uploaded.
Can it be exported in Word or PDF format?
The available functions at the moment include exporting in Markdown format and copying text; there is no button for directly exporting to Word or PDF. One can first export or copy the content, and then use a document processing software to convert it.
Can it be posted directly to Lark or DingTalk?
It offers copying in the Lark format; the page also mentions the Lark and DingTalk formats, but no automatic posting after authenticating with an account was found – users still need to paste the content and submit it.
Is the generated content accurate?
No guarantee can be provided. The system will automatically add background information, questions, and plans, and it is possible that details may arise that do not correspond to the actual work; therefore, each item must be checked carefully before submission.
Is the weekly report tool open source?
Earlier versions had public code repositories, but no explicit software license was specified; the current online version also differs from those earlier repositories. A more accurate description would be: “The code from earlier versions was made public, but it is not certain whether the current platform is fully open source.”
Can it be deployed on my own?
Developers can study publicly available early projects and configure their own model services, but they must first verify the license terms and dependency conditions. Deployers are also responsible for model invocation, security, privacy, and operation and maintenance.
Why are the generated weekly reports so vague?
A common reason is that only the task name is provided, without any information on results, data, progress, or issues. Formulating each task as “action + object + result + status” usually leads to a significant improvement in the output.
