You'd think this needs 90 min on a Sunday — Astra has it ready Friday afternoon, in your voice, with the actual numbers.

The short answer

Astra drafts your investor update by pulling the real metrics, structuring them into your usual format, and writing in the voice you've established. She fetches the last 7 days from Stripe (MRR, customers, churn), PostHog (signups, activation), GA4 (traffic, top channels), Salesforce (pipeline, closed-won), and Linear (shipped features, in-flight issues), reads your last 3 investor updates from your sent mail to learn the format and tone, then drafts a new one with: this week's wins (3-5), lowlights (1-2, honest), key metrics with WoW deltas, what's shipping next week, and asks for the investor base (intros, hires, advice). She queues it in Lark for your edit pass — usually 5 min — then sends to your investor mailing list. Most founders move from "I haven't written one in 6 weeks" to "shipped every Friday at 4pm."

Frequently asked questions

What if my metrics are bad this week?

Astra never sugarcoats. She'll surface bad numbers honestly with the diagnosis ("churn up because two enterprise accounts paused on missing SSO — shipping next week"). Investors trust founders who report bad weeks straight; Astra protects that signal.

What if I haven't written investor updates before?

Astra uses a battle-tested founder-update template (wins/lowlights/metrics/shipped/shipping/asks) until you've sent 3+, then she switches to your voice. She'll also propose your initial investor list and frequency if you're starting from zero.

Can I exclude certain data points?

Yes — say "don't share burn rate yet" or "hide CAC from this audience" and Astra omits those. She'll never invent a substitute or hide the omission from you in the draft (the Lark thread always shows what was excluded and why).

What about confidential numbers — does she store them?

All data is pulled fresh per-update from your connected sources. The drafted update lives in your Lark thread (your workspace, your control). Nothing is added to training data. Your investor email list lives in your Gmail/contacts, not in Astra's memory.
