Built on Databox
No AI hallucinations. Analysis built on a real context layer.
Ask a generic AI to analyse your business performance and it will give you a confident answer. It will also be working from assumptions.
Generic AI doesn't know how your business defines a qualified lead, what your MRR calculation includes, or how you attribute revenue. It fills those gaps with the most plausible interpretation it can find — which is different from the correct one.
The products here run on Databox's data layer — if you choose so. Your metric definitions, your reporting logic, and your live numbers are what the AI reads, pulled straight through Databox MCP instead of uploaded by hand. That's the difference between an output you can share with your team and one you have to verify before you trust it.
Connect any AI tool to your Databox data with Databox MCP.
Databox MCP is the bridge between your live metrics and any AI — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any client that speaks MCP. One auth, every workspace, no scraping.

Common questions
What does the Morning Marketing Summary workflow do?
It's an n8n workflow that connects to Databox via MCP every weekday at 7 AM, auto-discovers all connected marketing channels, pulls key metrics for the current and prior 7-day period, runs AI analysis to surface what changed, flag anomalies, and identify the most important action, and delivers two outputs: a plain-English Slack summary and a full HTML email with channel-by-channel tables. No dashboards to open, no manual input.
What does it need to run?
An n8n instance, a Databox account with at least one marketing channel connected, an OpenAI or compatible LLM API key, and a Slack workspace or Gmail account for delivery. Supported channels: Google Ads, Meta/Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads, TikTok Ads, YouTube Ads, Reddit Ads, Snapchat Ads, Microsoft Advertising, X Ads, Pinterest Ads. The workflow discovers which are connected at runtime — you don't need all channels active.
What's in the output?
Two deliverables, sent at the same time: a plain-English Slack message under 250 words with a headline, top-line numbers, what's working, what needs attention, and concrete next steps; and an HTML email with channel-by-channel performance tables and color-coded period-over-period changes. Channels that aren't connected are skipped.
Do I need a Databox account to use this skill?
Yes, ideally — and here's why it matters. Point a generic AI at a raw data export and it has to guess what your numbers mean: which conversions count, how you define an engaged session, what a "normal" week looks like. It fills those gaps with the most plausible interpretation it can find, which is often not the correct one. The skill avoids that by reading your data live from Databox through MCP, where your metrics are already standardized — one consistent definition for sessions, engagement, and conversions across your setup. The AI reads what's actually true for your business instead of inferring it, so the report is one you can trust rather than verify. You can technically run it against data you've pasted in by hand, but you lose that context layer and the output is only as reliable as the export. If you don't have an account or data source connected yet, the skill walks you through the setup.
Do I need a paid Databox plan to run this skill?
The skill is free to download. Running it requires the Databox MCP connection, which isn't included on the forever free plan. Every new Databox account starts with a 14-day free trial that includes everything the skill needs — after that, any paid plan covers it, including the Analyst plan.
Does this use live data from my connected source?
Yes — every run reads your live data directly from Databox through the MCP connection. The report reflects your current data at the moment you run it, not a cached or uploaded snapshot.
Do I need to export data manually?
No — there are no CSV exports and no copy-paste. The skill pulls your data straight from Databox through MCP each time it runs, so the report is always built from your live source.
Can agencies run this for multiple clients?
Yes — run it against each client's data connected in Databox, one account at a time, and you get the same structured weekly brief for every client. It's built to give a consistent report you can take to each client review.
Can I customize the report?
Yes. Before it runs, the skill asks a few onboarding questions — what you want to measure, the time frame, and any context that matters for the analysis — so the report is shaped to your goals from the start. After a run, you can give it feedback to adjust focus, sections, or anomaly thresholds, and reinstall the updated version so your changes carry into future runs.
