AI Summaries for Reports in NetSuite 2026.1

Starting in NetSuite 2026.1, users can leverage generative AI to produce concise summaries of report results, referred to as AI Summaries for Reports. This new functionality is part of the Narrative Insights feature, designed to help users quickly identify key information, trends, anomalies, risks, opportunities, or data gaps within the presented reports. This enhances the data analysis experience significantly, allowing for a more efficient decision-making process.

Key Features of AI Summaries

• Dynamic Insights Generation: When viewing a supported report, you can click the 'Generate Insight' button to receive a tailored summary. This summary may change each time it is generated, reflecting the dynamic nature of the underlying data.
• Region and Language Support: The AI Summaries feature is accessible for accounts located in supported regions and requires that the user's language preference be set to English.
• Narrative Insights Preference: Administrators can control the availability of this feature via the 'Enable Narrative Insights' toggle within the AI Preferences page. By default, this option is enabled, but it can be toggled off by users with Administrator privileges.

Steps to Generate an Insight

2. Click the Generate Insight button.
3. A pop-up dialog displaying the generated summary will appear. You have the option to generate the insight again as needed.
