I built a report generator for freelancers who hate formatting client data. Launching on Product Hunt July 1.
I'm a solo founder from India. Built Naxely over the last few months while doing freelance data work on the side.
The problem I kept hitting: clients don't want raw spreadsheets. They want something that looks like a report. Charts, a summary, actual insights. Doing that manually every time is tedious enough that I started avoiding it.
So I built a tool that handles it. Upload a CSV or connect Google Sheets, it generates a branded PDF with AI insights, anomaly flags, and charts. Under a minute. Built mainly for freelancers and agencies who send client reports regularly.
Launching on Product Hunt July 1. Free tier available, paid starts at $29.
Honest question — what would make you actually open the site and try it? naxely.com
Great problem to tackle — I've run into the same thing with my own project: so much time spent "dressing up" raw data to make it look professional. To answer your question: what would get me to open the site is seeing a real example report right away (not a generic screenshot, but an actual downloadable PDF) before I even upload my own data — it would remove the doubt of "ok but is the output actually good or just a random chart". If you have a public sample output, I'd put it front and center on the page, even before the signup button. Good luck with the launch!
It's up now — naxely.com/sample/report.pdf, real unedited output linked right on the homepage before the signup button, exactly what you asked for. Appreciate the push, this was the right call.
I think the biggest thing that would get me to try it is seeing the quality of the output before I sign up.
I'd love to see a sample CSV alongside the exact PDF it generates, with no cherry-picking. That immediately answers questions like, "Would I actually send this to a client?" and "How much editing would I still have to do?"
As someone who works with spreadsheets a lot, the time savings are obvious—but the final report quality is what would convince me to give it a try.
Totally fair ask — that's exactly the gap right now. Going to put a real before/after sample (unedited CSV → generated PDF) on the landing page before launch. Will drop the link here once it's up. Appreciate the push.
It's up — naxely.com/sample/report.pdf is the real, unedited PDF generated from the CSV linked right next to it on the homepage. No cherry-picking, exactly what you asked for.

This resonates with AI report workflows too. For Tokens Forge's AI Researcher, the hard part is not only generating a polished PDF; it is making the report reusable for the person's existing client or research workflow. I would treat the template as part of the product: saved section order, source notes, confidence flags, export format, and a clear token/run cost so people know what each report consumed. Formatting is annoying, but repeatable trust and repeatable structure are what make people come back.
the repeatable structure point is exactly where i want to take it. right now each report is somewhat standalone but the idea of saved section order and template presets per client is something i keep coming back to. the token/run cost transparency is interesting too, hadn't thought about surfacing that but it makes sense if people are using their own api keys.
