Hey Product Hunt, I’m Bryan from LayerProof 👋
If you’ve ever sent a client report and felt a spike of anxiety right after hitting “send,” you know the real problem. Not because the numbers are wrong, but because the deliverable looks static, confusing, or obviously exported.
And when that happens, your work gets undervalued.
We built Bristol for that exact pain 🙂↔️. Bristol creates agentic reports your clients want to read. Drop in your materials (files, URLs, pasted context), shape the report by chatting, make quick visual edits directly, then publish a live report in one click.
If you want a quick test: take your last monthly client update, paste in the messy notes plus metrics, and ask Bristol to “make this skimmable in 3 minutes, but drillable by channel.”
I’d love to hear what your client would click first.
This looks slick. Quick question, when a number updates in the source file, does the published report refresh automatically, or do you re-run it? The "always update" line caught my eye. Either way, the traceability is the killer feature here. Congrats on shipping! 🚀

Hi 👋 So happy that you asked!
One another thing that amazes me about our product is its “always update” ability. No need to worry about your edits not syncing, they’re always kept in sync through your path and update in the only one link you shared

There's a design principle that sounds obvious until you see how many tools ignore it.
If the report is hard to read, the work feels less credible.
Not because the reader is wrong to feel that way. Because clarity is part of the deliverable. Structure, hierarchy, and pacing are what help someone trust what they're looking at.
We heard this from a lot of teams while building Bristol. They were spending hours on layout polish and still feeling uncertain before hitting send. The data was right. The formatting just wasn't helping anyone navigate it.
So Bristol is built to co-create the report with you. Chat to reshape structure fast, then do direct visual edits when you want precise control. The goal is a report that reads like a real narrative, not a formatted document.
If you're a designer, I'd genuinely love your honest take. Does the output feel like something with a point of view, or does it still read like an export with better styling?

hi Product hunt fam,
it's Nathan (again)
let's be honest about reports for a second.
-you spend 3 days building that peak report.
-you agonize over the executive summary.
-you make the chart colors match the brand.
-you export to pdf, attach it, write a thoughtful little email, hit send.
it gets opened for 40s. someone scrolls to the one number they care about, screenshots it for slack, and never opens it again. and then 2 weeks later, they ask you a question that was on page 3. bold, highlighted, with a chart next to it. ( •̀ - •́ )
╮( ˘ ､ ˘ )╭ and 90% reports don't get read. they get acknowledged. "Thanks, looks great!" is just the polite version of "I DID NOT read this." because a pdf is a terrible way to read anything. it's static, it's long, and it makes the reader do all the work of finding what matters to them.
Layerproof Bristol is our attempt at the obvious fix. you build the report by chatting with an agent, then publish it as a live page the reader can actually click around in. that's it. ٩(◕‿◕)۶

@karthik_balaji1 Hey karthik, great question, and totally fair concern! 😎
Don’t worry, you stay in control the whole way. Right at the input stage, you give Bristol the source materials you want it to work from, and in your request you can specify exactly which information must stay untouched and has to appear in the final outcome.
The agent on the next page doesn’t invent anything from no where. It just restructures what you told it into a clearer, more on-point brief, so the outcome reflects your intent better.
And if the outcome isn’t quite right? You can fine-tune it with the visual editor, or just chat with the agent to adjust. So even if some context slips through at first, it’s quick and easy to fix.
Give it a try and would love to hear how it works for you! 🚀

Hi PH, It's Jordyn !!!!!
i'm here to talk about the quiet fear nobody talks about in client work: You do great work. You have the right insights. But then you send a report thay makes you look.... average.
It's not because you got anything wrong, it's because the format buries your point 😔 the structure doesn't guide the reader and the deliverable feels generic.
That's where Bristol clicked for me💥. It's not "AI writes your report", but it's AI helping you build the interactive deliverable, the thing your clients actually open and explore.
You can ask for changes in plain language: collapsible sections, a comparison view, a filter by channel. And the report actually behaves that way. It's real product functionality, not a design mockup!
One thing i'd suggest for you to try with Bristol: start with imperfect inputs. That's the real workflow Bristol is designed for, not a clean demo with polished data 🍀 Let us know what you think!

Hi. I'm Ha Le from LayerProof ^^~
As a marketer, I have some recurring problems: Our team can do great work, have the right read on the data, and still lose credibility at the deliverable stage. Not because we got anything wrong. Because the report looked confusing, or generic, or like it wasn't made for that client specifically.
Bristol is built around that problem. The focus isn't on generating a report. It's on generating a report someone will actually read and explore. One URL, interactive by default, and the structure can adapt to what each stakeholder cares about.
If you're in marketing or client services, here's a test worth trying: take your last monthly update, drop in the messy inputs, and ask Bristol for an exec summary plus a deeper section for the team, in the same report.
See if it reads like something you'd actually send without a second thought.
