FlipsideAI can generate two types of formatted outputs: Reports and Artifacts. Both present data in polished, professional formats—but they serve different purposes.

​
Reports vs Artifacts

  • Reports
  • Artifacts
What it is:
  • Formatted text-based analysis within the chat context
  • Markdown-style formatting
  • Includes inline data, tables, and summaries
Best for:
  • Quick summaries
  • Text-heavy analyses
  • When you want formatted output without leaving the chat
Example:
"Generate a report summarizing Aave's Q1 2024 performance"
You’ll get a nicely formatted text document in the chat.

​
Creating reports

Reports are text-based outputs formatted within the chat.

​
How to request a report

Simply ask for a “report”: 
"Generate a report on Uniswap v3 liquidity trends over the past quarter"
FlipsideAI will:
  1. Analyze the data
  2. Structure findings into sections
  3. Present a formatted markdown-style report in the chat

​
Report structure

Typical reports include:
  • Executive summary: Key findings at a glance
  • Detailed analysis: Metrics, trends, comparisons
  • Tables and data points: Supporting numbers
  • Conclusion: Takeaways and recommendations

​
Customizing reports

Use Rules to control report style: 
Rule: "All reports should follow this structure:
1. TL;DR (3 bullet points max)
2. Key metrics (table format)
3. Analysis (2-3 paragraphs)
4. Risks and limitations"

​
Creating artifacts

Artifacts are rich, interactive outputs designed for sharing and presentation.

​
How to request an artifact

Ask FlipsideAI to create a specific type of output: 
"Build an interactive dashboard for Arbitrum DeFi activity"
"Create a Twitter-ready chart showing stablecoin market share"
"Generate a presentation-style artifact comparing top NFT marketplaces"

​
Artifact types

FlipsideAI can generate:
  • Line charts (time series, trends)
  • Bar charts (comparisons, rankings)
  • Pie charts (composition, market share)
  • Scatter plots (correlations, distributions)
  • Area charts (cumulative trends)
Example request:
"Create a line chart showing daily TVL for Aave over the past 90 days"
Formatted tables with:
  • Sortable columns
  • Summary rows
  • Highlighted outliers
Example request:
"Generate a table of the top 20 Uniswap LPs by liquidity provided"
Multi-panel artifacts with:
  • Multiple charts
  • Key metrics at the top
  • Interactive filtering
Example request:
"Build a dashboard for Solana DeFi: include TVL trend, top protocols by volume, and user growth"
Side-by-side visualizations:
  • Protocol A vs Protocol B
  • Chain X vs Chain Y
  • Time period 1 vs Time period 2
Example request:
"Create a comparison artifact for Aave vs Compound: TVL, users, revenue"

​
Styling artifacts

Control how artifacts look with specific instructions:
  • Color schemes
  • Chart types
"Use a dark background with vibrant purple and green accents"
"Match our brand colors: #7356ff (primary), #f5f5f5 (secondary)"
"Use Dune Analytics-style colors"
Or save your preferences as a Rule: 
Rule: "All artifacts should be:
- 16:9 aspect ratio
- Dark background (#1a1a1a)
- Bold, high-contrast colors
- Large, readable fonts (min 14pt)
- Include 'Data: Flipside' attribution"

​
Editing artifacts

Once an artifact is generated, you can refine it:

​
Request changes

"Change the line chart to a bar chart"
"Add a title: 'Ethereum DEX Volumes Q1 2024'"
"Remove the legend and add direct labels instead"
"Use a logarithmic scale for the Y-axis"
"Highlight the top 3 bars in a different color"

​
Iterate until perfect

Keep refining:
1

Generate first version

“Create a chart showing Uniswap volumes"
2

Review and adjust

"Make the colors bolder and increase font size"
3

Fine-tune

"Add a subtitle explaining the data source"
4

Finalize

"Perfect—publish this artifact”

​

Use cases

Create eye-catching visuals for Twitter, LinkedIn, or Discord:
"Generate a Twitter-ready chart: Solana DEX volumes vs Ethereum DEX volumes.
Use a 16:9 ratio, bold colors, minimal text."
Build polished reports for stakeholders: text "Create a presentation-style artifact for our client: - Slide 1: TVL trends - Slide 2: User growth - Slide 3: Revenue comparison Use our brand colors (#7356ff) and clean, minimal design."
Generate publication-ready charts: text "Create a grayscale line chart suitable for academic publication. Include all axis labels, source attribution, and a descriptive title."
Build monitoring tools for your team:
"Create a dashboard for daily protocol health monitoring:
- TVL (last 7 days)
- Active users (last 7 days)
- Revenue (last 7 days)
- Alert if any metric drops >10%"

​
Pro tips

Show FlipsideAI what you want:
"I've uploaded an example chart. Make my artifact look like this."
FlipsideAI can mimic styles from images you provide.
Use both for comprehensive deliverables: 1. Generate a report with detailed text analysis 2. Create artifacts with key visuals 3. Share both: the report for context, artifacts for impact
If you create recurring reports or artifacts, codify the style: text Rule: "Monthly protocol reports should include: - Executive summary (3 bullets) - TVL trend chart (line, 90 days) - User growth table (top 10 cohorts) - Risk assessment (paragraph)"
Generate multiple versions and pick the best:
"Create 3 versions of this chart:
1. Line chart with dark background
2. Bar chart with light background
3. Area chart with gradient fill"
Compare and publish your favorite.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Too much data: Simplify the query or filter to fewer data points
  • Complex interactions: Break into simpler visualizations
  • Browser issues: Try refreshing or using a different browser
  • “Increase font size to at least 14pt” - “Reduce the number of data points shown” - “Use direct labels instead of a legend” - “Switch to a simpler chart type”
  • Specify exact hex codes: “Use #7356ff for primary color”
  • Upload a brand guide image
  • Save a Rule with your color palette
