Marketing Strategies

The Future of Affiliate Reporting has Arrived. Introducing Prompt.

Rakuten Advertising advertisers and publishers can officially stop running manual reports, and start getting quick answers with Prompt, now available in our dedicated Insights and Analytics Portal.

What is Prompt?

Prompt is a proprietary, developed in-house, natural-language-powered reporting assistant designed to remove the repetitive, manual motions and workflows between affiliate marketers and the answers they need – and quickly. Prompt leverages over 250 affiliate performance reporting data points, with even more coming soon, to deliver customized reports and visualizations based on “plain language” questions.

With increasingly more data points and reporting templates available, knowing which fields to add or which template to use can take time and trial and error – leaving insights undiscovered, and unknowns, unknown. In the upcoming coming months, Prompt will expand to include additional reporting insights to include existing data from solutions such as our Benchmarking, Affiliate Conversion Journey and more.

How does it work?

Prompt is designed to save time on repetitive reporting tasks so you can focus on what matters most: data analysis, insight extraction, and strategy. Skip legacy reporting navigation by asking questions in your own words and get answers on the fly.

Prompt shines when you need to explore data ad hoc, discover new metrics, or quickly answer unique questions. Quickly fulfill custom reporting requests, share insights cross-functionally, and operate at high velocity to optimize resources, streamline decision-making, and communicate findings with ease.

Whether you want to see top-performing products or partners year over year, or track how your program’s AOV has changed over time, Prompt helps you:

  • Toggle between tables and graphs
  • Apply advanced filters
  • Ask follow-up questions
  • Save and share outputs

We Keep Your Data Secure

Our proprietary approach to AI product development keeps all performance information securely within the Rakuten Advertising ecosystem, generating the answers you need without sending data to any external open or closed AI models. We prioritize your privacy and the integrity of your information, building Prompt with security as a foundational principle.

Getting Started

Current advertiser clients and publishers on our network can access Prompt directly from our Insights and Analytics portal. From your dashboard, simply navigate to Reporting, Insights and Analytics Portal, Analytics, then Affiliate Reporting and you’ll see the signature Prompt text box welcoming you to the future of affiliate reporting. You can still toggle back to run reports in the historical method if you choose.
