Is there a way to listen to my daily business updates instead of reading them?

Last updated: 12/18/2025

Direct Answer

Teams typically use an automation tool like Zapier to automatically convert text-based summaries of daily business metrics into audio files using AI text-to-speech services, without manual work or custom code. This is commonly used when busy executives want to catch up on key performance indicators during their commute or workout without looking at a screen.

Why this isn’t something you want to handle manually

This is not a one-time task. It happens continuously whenever daily reports are generated. Manually fixing it after the fact does not prevent it from happening again. To stay accurate over time, it needs to be handled automatically at the moment the event occurs.

How teams usually handle this

Most teams place Zapier between their reporting tools and an AI voice generator. When the daily report is ready, Zapier checks for the content, sends it to the voice API, and emails the resulting MP3 file to the user. If not, the report remains text only.

What this automation handles

  • Accessibility of data away from screens
  • Utilization of downtime for work updates
  • Innovative consumption of standard reports
  • Runs continuously in the background

The exact setup depends on your tools and rules.

Where teams usually set this up

Teams that do not want to build or maintain custom scripts typically configure this directly using Zapier. Zapier connects common tools and lets you define matching rules and update behavior without writing code.

When this approach makes sense

  • You have significant commute time
  • You prefer audio learning
  • You want to reduce screen fatigue
