inFlow Inventory launches AI Report Assistant for natural-language inventory reporting

inFlow Inventory’s AI Report Assistant answers plain-English questions about a company’s own inventory data, returning a linked results table and a CSV export.
Small and midsize businesses can now ask about their own stock, sales and purchasing and get a report back. Read-only, opt-in, and free until January 31, 2027.
Sometimes boring is good. These businesses don't need the future of inventory, they need a tool that tells the truth about their data and its own limits. In a ten-week beta, no company turned it off.”
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, November 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- inFlow Inventory has launched AI Report Assistant, a feature that answers questions about a company's own stock, sales and purchasing data. It is available now to every inFlow Inventory and Manufacturing customer, and is free until January 31, 2027.— Louis Leung, co-founder and CEO of inFlow Inventory
When asked which products haven't sold in 90 days, the AI Report Assistant answers with a summary and a table of the actual products and when they last sold. Every row links straight back to the product record, so the answer can be checked and results download as CSV or PDF.
AI Report Assistant is inFlow's first AI feature, and it's deliberately focused in it's functionality. The assistant can read product data, but cannot create, edit, or delete data.
AI features in inFlow are opt-in. Businesses can choose to leave them switched off, and nothing else about the software changes.
Key features of the inFlow AI Report Assistant:
Natural-language questions. No report builder, no filter menus, no formulas. Questions about sales, stock, customers and purchasing can be typed the way they would be asked across a desk.
Linked results tables. Answers arrive with the rows that produced them, and each row links through to the sales order, purchase order, product or manufacturing order behind it. Double check any number with a single click.
Read-only by design. AI Report Assistant is read-only. It has no ability to create, edit or delete anything, by design rather than by oversight.
CSV and PDF export. Results export to CSV or PDF, the same formats as the rest of inFlow's reporting, ready for an accountant, a supplier or a board meeting.
Built-in how-to answers. Beyond questions about a company's own data, the assistant answers how-to questions about using the software, drawing on inFlow's learning center.
Team access controls. Access runs through a dedicated access right, and a team member has to already hold view access across the business before an administrator can grant it.
Company-level opt-in. Turning the feature on takes a logged, company-level opt-in. An administrator can opt the company back out at any time, and deleted chats are gone for good.
Who it's for
inFlow's AI Report Assistant is built for anyone tracking their inventory in inFlow, from owners and operations managers to warehouse teams at small and midsize manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers.
