Which Should You Use?

Best practice: Create a case first, then generate reports within it. This ensures the best results with minimal manual work.

Report Generation Process

Once you've pasted your notes and selected your report type, TimeZero will:

1. Parse notes and extract information
2. Apply case context to narrow its scope (optional)
3. Reason about the events, what it's seeing, etc.
4. Organize all events chronologically
5. Create a professional narrative and various summaries
6. Format consistently
7. Finally, produce a downloadable/customizable .docx report
