Your competitors are quietly using AI to eat into your margin.
Let's find where before they do.

A one-hour audit of your business plus a written report. We find where AI and automation will genuinely save you time, money, or competitive ground. Honest answers, no fluff.

The audit before the build.

Most agencies pitch you a build and hope you'll bite. We think that's backwards. The AI Audit is a paid diagnostic that tells you honestly where AI fits, where it doesn't, and what the ROI looks like. If we can help, we'll quote for the build. If we can't, you keep the report and act on it yourself. Either way you leave with a real plan.

Four steps from booking to actionable report.

01

Book & pay upfront

Pick a slot, pay the £250 on the booking page. You get an immediate confirmation and a link to the pre-audit questionnaire.

02

Pre-audit questionnaire

15-30 minutes for you to complete. Tech stack, team, where the hours go, competitors you're watching, and goals for the next 12 months. So we go straight to depth on the call.

03

1-hour audit call

Founder-led session on Google Meet. We walk your processes, identify 3-5 AI opportunities live, and demo relevant tools on screen where useful. You lead where you have questions, we push where you need pushing.

04

Written report within 5 days

A prioritised report with 3-5 recommendations, rough ROI per opportunity, tool and vendor suggestions, and indicative build costs if you want Autoeight to deliver any of it. Shareable PDF, yours to keep.

Where we look for AI wins.

Every audit runs through the same five lenses. Different businesses have different problems, but the questions are consistent.

Processes

Where the hours actually go

Which repeated tasks are eating your team's week. Quote writing, follow-up, invoicing, data entry, reporting, prep for calls, chasing suppliers. Everything that's manual but shouldn't be.

Communication

Inbox, sales, support flows

Emails you keep rewriting, replies you keep drafting, follow-ups that get missed, support tickets that need triaging. Where an AI assistant would take 10 hours off a week without anyone noticing.

Data & reporting

What you can't see today

Every business has data. Most can't see it. We look at what dashboards you'd want, where the numbers live now, and how AI can pull them into decisions your team can act on daily.

Sales & customers

The moments that matter

Lead capture, qualification, conversion, retention, review generation. Every touchpoint where AI can help you respond faster, personalise better, or close more than you're closing now.

Honest limits

Where AI won't help

Not everything is an AI problem. We'll tell you what's better solved by a hire, a process change, or better software before we recommend AI. If AI isn't the answer, we say so.

What lands in your inbox 5 days later.

A shareable PDF built to actually be actioned. Not a slide deck, not a sales document, not a 40-page report nobody reads. Five to eight pages of decisions.

  • Executive summary in 5 bullets, ready to share with your team.
  • 3-5 prioritised recommendations, each with the problem, the AI solution, and rough time and cost savings.
  • Tool and vendor suggestions per recommendation, with what's DIY, what needs a freelancer, and what needs a proper build.
  • Indicative build costs if you want Autoeight to implement any of it.
  • The "don't bother" list — the AI ideas we deliberately ruled out and why.

Who this audit is for.

Good fit

  • UK SMEs, roughly 10 to 49 employees.
  • Growing, and starting to feel the pinch of manual admin.
  • Ops manager, MD or founder who suspects AI could help but hasn't found the entry point.
  • Uses a mix of CRM, spreadsheets, email and a growing tool stack.
  • Wants an honest opinion, not a sales pitch.

Not a fit

  • Enterprises with an in-house AI or data team already.
  • Businesses already running AI heavily across the operation.
  • Anyone looking for a free chat to pick our brain.
  • Businesses under 5 employees with no repeatable processes yet.
  • Anyone expecting a magic-wand ChatGPT hype pitch. We're the opposite.

Two possible paths, both honest.

The audit is the product. What comes next is your call.

If Autoeight builds it

Two or three of the recommendations map to services we deliver: AI & Automation, CRM Integration, Web Design, Sales Automation, or a Learning Platform. We'll quote per project, fixed price, no hourly billing.

If Autoeight doesn't build it

Some recommendations you'll want to run yourself, hand to a freelancer, or file for later. The report includes vendor and tool suggestions so you're not stuck. The £250 buys you the strategic clarity either way.

Common questions about the AI Audit.

What is an AI audit, exactly?

A structured one-hour session where we walk through your business, tech stack and processes to identify three to five specific ways AI and automation would save you time, cost or competitive ground. You get a written report within five business days with prioritised recommendations, rough ROI estimates and tool suggestions.

Who is this for?

UK small and medium-sized businesses that suspect AI could help but don't know where to start. Best fit is 10 to 49 employees, running a mix of manual admin, disconnected tools and processes that grew organically. Not aimed at teams already running AI heavily or at enterprises with in-house AI functions.

How much does it cost?

£250, paid upfront when you book. That covers the pre-audit questionnaire, the one-hour session with a Founder-led consultant, and the written report delivered within five business days.

How long does the audit take?

The live session is up to one hour on Google Meet. Before that we send a 15 to 30 minute questionnaire so you can share your tech stack, top pain points and goals in advance, which means we go straight to depth on the call instead of small talk. The written report is delivered within five business days.

What if my team is worried about AI replacing jobs?

Fair concern. In practice, most of what we identify is manual admin work no-one enjoys anyway: data entry, chasing follow-ups, summarising emails, hunting through files. The audit report is honest about what AI can and can't do, and what would still need a human. You can share it with your team openly.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes, on request. We'll sign a mutual NDA before the questionnaire and audit call if you want one. Just tell us when you book.

What tools do you look at?

Whatever you're using. CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho), comms (Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Teams), storage (Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox), project management (Notion, Asana, Trello), sales (LinkedIn, Apollo, cold email tools) and any legacy systems. The report will tell you where AI plugs in and which combinations pay back fastest.

What if I could just do the AI work myself?

You probably could. The audit tells you which opportunities are worth doing yourself, which are worth outsourcing to a freelancer, and which are worth Autoeight building end to end. Not every recommendation ends in us quoting you for a build.
