We are actively working on the following:
Improving dashboards / report builder, among other we are adding individual text variables to reports and reporting
Next iteration on the AI Model for KPI extraction from text, focus on named entity linking
Improving workflows related to newsletters forwarded to Midesk e-mail address
Midesk will fetch a defined API on a periodic basis, structure its content it and save it into its data repositories.
This is very helpful for passively generating market figures from SimilarWeb, Moody's Analytics, OpenCorporates, OECD, etc...
The implemented API not only extract given KPIs but also do "data acrobatics", including functions like counting (sum, min, max, mode, average) and filtering (firstWhere, unique, last, first). More function will be implemented based on our clients' user cases.
Midesk Report Builder is a drag & drop editor that connects all parts of Midesk into management-ready dashboards that are automatically updated, and exportable in the PowerPoint format.
The dashboards are based on the latest state of the "data repositories" which consolidate and manage data from various places, including via a Midesk Crawler, INBOX email forwarding, or manual entry.
The report builder is powered by a powerful tree-calculation method that can consolidate daily, weekly, quarterly figures into the right results for the client. It can also calculate and provide market sizes from unstructured figures (e.g. the total addressable Job-board market in Germany).
Midesk report builder features a multi-column resizable layout and movable blocks.
Midesk report builder offers a very flexible graphing library that aligns the web editor to its counterpart graphs in PowerPoint (real native PowerPoint graphs representation)
Midesk report builder offers "rolling periods" (e.g. last 2 weeks) so the client doesn't need to touch their graphs.

As our new website has just been launched and we have just started publishing our changelog, it's a bit of an overhead to dig deep the details from the past. We will add the missing months at a later point in time.
