AI Agents for Weekly Metrics Reports

Pull MRR, churn, burn rate, and runway from Stripe and your accounting tool every Monday. Formatted, compared to last week, and in your inbox before standup.

01the problem

You know you should be tracking MRR, churn, burn rate, and runway weekly. But every Monday you open Stripe, open your accounting tool, paste numbers into a spreadsheet, and try to remember what changed. By the time you have the picture, your standup already started. Some weeks you skip it entirely.

02what the agent does

Every Monday at 8 AM, the agent connects to Stripe and your accounting tool. It pulls MRR, new customers, churn, burn rate, and calculates runway. It compares everything to last week, highlights what improved, flags what needs attention, and delivers a formatted report to your inbox before your first meeting.

FAQ

Common questions about setting up this agent.

What data sources can the agent pull from?+
Claude Cowork connects to Stripe, QuickBooks, Xero, Google Sheets, and Notion. If your data lives in a tool with an API, you can build a Cowork skill to connect it. If it's in a spreadsheet, the agent reads that directly.
Can I customize which metrics are tracked?+
Yes. The metrics here are common for pre-seed to Series A startups. You define what matters to your board: MRR, ARR, CAC, LTV, gross margin. Set it once and the agent follows that template every week.
How is this different from a dashboard?+
A dashboard shows you data when you go look at it. This delivers a formatted, interpreted report to your inbox on schedule. It doesn't replace Metabase or Looker. It replaces the 30 minutes you spend every Monday pulling numbers and writing the summary yourself.
