AI automation audit: know what to automate before you pay to build it.
Bring one process that eats your team's week. We map it step by step, then you get a written plan: what to automate, what to leave alone, the hours it saves and a fixed price to build it. If you go ahead, the $350 comes off the build.

What is an AI automation audit?
An AI automation audit is a fixed-price review of one business process. MintLooks maps how the process runs today, marks which steps software or AI can take over and where a person should still approve, estimates the hours saved from your own numbers, and gives you a fixed quote to build it. It costs $350, credited to the build.
What you get
A plan you can act on, not a slide deck
A map of the process
Every step, tool and hand-off, including the exceptions people handle from memory.
What to automate, and what not to
Each step marked: automate it, let AI draft it with a person approving, or leave it alone. With the reason.
Hours saved, from your numbers
How much time the change frees up each month, worked out from your volumes, not a generic benchmark.
The build plan in plain English
Which tools, which connections, where a person approves, and what data the automation can touch.
A fixed quote and timeline
The full price to build it and how long it takes, so you can decide with real numbers.
The $350 back if you build
Go ahead with the build and the audit fee comes off the price in full.

How it works
Four steps, about a week
- 1
Send a short brief
Name the process and roughly how often it runs. Five questions, two minutes.
- 2
Book the session
You get a $350 invoice and a time. We walk through the process together over video, screen share is enough.
- 3
Get the written plan
Within 5 business days: the process map, what to automate, hours saved and a fixed quote.
- 4
Decide
Build it with us (the $350 is credited), build it yourself, or leave it. The plan is yours either way.
Good processes to bring
Repetitive, rule-based, weekly
- Lead intake and follow-up
- Invoice, receipt and document processing
- Client onboarding paperwork
- Weekly reports pulled from three tools
- Support inbox triage and first replies
- Scheduling, reminders and no-show follow-up
A good fit
- The process runs every week or more.
- Someone spends hours reading, copying or chasing.
- It follows the same rules most of the time.
Not a fit
- You want a company-wide AI strategy.
- The task happens a few times a year.
- Every case needs a different judgement call.

Questions people ask
What is an AI automation audit?
A fixed-price review of one business process. We map how it runs today, mark which steps software or AI can take over, estimate the hours saved and give you a fixed quote to build it.
How is this different from an AI readiness assessment?
A readiness assessment scores your whole company on data, skills and policy. This audit looks at one process you already run and ends with a build plan and a price, so it is faster and cheaper to act on.
Is the $350 credited if we go ahead?
Yes. If you build the automation with MintLooks, the full $350 comes off the build price.
Do you need access to our systems?
No. A screen-share walkthrough and a few sample documents are enough. Nothing is connected to your tools during the audit.
What if the audit says the process is not worth automating?
Then you find out for $350 instead of paying for a build that would not pay for itself, and you keep the process map.
Which tools do you use?
Whatever fits the job and your budget: Zapier, Make or n8n for simple flows, custom code where those fall short, and AI models such as ChatGPT or Claude for reading and drafting steps.
Do you work with businesses outside Connecticut?
Yes. The audit runs over video, so it works anywhere. Connecticut businesses can meet in person if they prefer.
