You then receive a written summary of one to two pages: 3 automations or AI agents to start with, in the order we would build them. - Free, with no commitment - 45 minutes by video, in English or French - A written summary of one to two pages, with 3 ranked options [Request my AI audit](https://sdk.enterprises/en/start-a-project?need=advice&topic=ai-audit). [Book a call](https://sdk.enterprises/en/book-a-call). ## Who this audit is for - **You tried ChatGPT and stopped there**: A few individual uses, but nothing changed in how the team works. The audit looks for the task where AI makes a real difference. - **You do not know what to automate first**: Everything looks automatable, or nothing does. We sort it: what is frequent, checkable and simple enough to start with. - **You were shown software, not results**: Rather than start from a tool, we start from your tasks and the software you already use. - **You want a technical opinion before you spend**: Feasibility, data needed, risks: an engineer's view before you sign anything. ## What the written summary contains - **3 ranked options**: Three automations or AI agents that fit your business, in the order we would start them. - **For each option, the task and the expected gain**: What gets automated, what the team no longer has to do, and how to check it works. - **The tools and data needed**: The software to connect, the documents or data to provide, and what must stay under human control. - **What to watch out for**: Personal data, data quality, edge cases: what to plan for before building. ## How the audit works - **You send the request**: A short form: your business and the tasks that take your time. We get back to you to set the appointment. - **45 minutes by video**: We talk about your business, your tools and how you work. No access to your systems is needed. - **The written summary**: One to two pages with your 3 ranked options, sent by email. - **You decide**: The summary is yours whatever you decide. To start an option with us, you get a free quote within 48 hours. ## The kind of options an audit brings out Classic examples. Yours will depend on your business and your tools. - **Sorting incoming email**: File requests, pull out the useful details and create the task or ticket in the right place. - **Supplier invoices**: Read invoices, match them to orders and prepare the bookkeeping entry. - **Quotes and proposals**: Draft a first quote from the customer's request and your internal price list. - **Internal knowledge base**: An assistant that answers the team's questions from your procedures and documents. ## Start from a tool, or start from your tasks? Many AI projects begin with a fashionable piece of software. The audit goes the other way. | Question | Start from an AI tool | Start from the AI audit | | --- | --- | --- | | Starting point | A product's features. | The tasks that cost your team time. | | First project | Chosen for what the tool can do. | Chosen because it is frequent, checkable and simple to start. | | Your current tools | Often one more product for the team to adopt. | Automations connected to the tools you already use. | | What you keep | A subscription. | A written summary of 3 options, to pursue with us or not. | ## Engineers, not salespeople One of our engineers runs the audit. At NorthStar Network, our engineers built AI-driven internal tools that automate recurring engineering tasks, and we build SDK Pilot, our own AI agent. - [Re-architecting APIs for a sports media platform with 50M+ monthly users](https://sdk.enterprises/en/work/northstar-sports-media-apis) ## Questions before you request the audit ### Is the audit really free? Yes. It commits you to nothing: you keep the written summary whether or not you work with us afterwards. ### What should we prepare? Nothing technical. Think about the repetitive tasks that take your team time and the tools you use: email, CRM, spreadsheets, business software. ### Do you need access to our systems or data? No. The audit is a conversation: you describe how you work, and we ask for no access. To show us an example, an anonymized document is enough. ### How is it different from Bpifrance's Diag Data IA? Bpifrance's Diag Data IA is a partly subsidized, multi-day program run by an approved expert. Our audit is a free 45-minute first conversation, which can also help you decide whether such a program suits you. ### Which language is the audit in?
