Free AI and automation consultation

A useful hour with your actual work

We look at where the hours go, follow one or two real workflows and show what could sensibly be automated today. You get a one-page findings note within 48 hours.

Book the consultation

This is a conversation, not a disguised two-day audit. We sit with the owner or the person who does the admin and follow the work as it really happens: how an enquiry arrives, where information gets copied, what needs chasing and where something gets forgotten.

The session produces a useful hypothesis. If a workflow needs deeper mapping, access to systems or a scored business case, that becomes a separately scoped Workflow Audit. Keeping those two things separate protects your time and ours.

Work in the room

One workflow, examined properly

The session follows the work as it really happens: where an enquiry arrives, where information is copied, what needs chasing and where a person needs to decide.


The sequence

How the work moves

  1. 01

    Frame the business

    How work arrives, how it gets done and how money gets collected.

  2. 02

    Walk the workflow

    Follow one or two real examples from first contact to completion.

  3. 03

    Test the options

    Identify where a process change, existing feature, automation or AI step fits best.

  4. 04

    Send the note

    Three opportunities, one free quick win, one thing to leave alone and one recommended next step.


What the session looks for

Re-typing

The same customer, quote or job information entered into more than one system.

Chasing

Replies, payments, staff updates or supplier answers that depend on somebody remembering.

Searching

Policies, prices, documents or previous decisions that live in several places.

Waiting

Enquiries or routine approvals sitting still because the right person did not see them.


What you receive

Plain-English findings

A one-page note within 48 hours, written for the business rather than for a technical buyer.

One quick win

Something the team can improve without commissioning Astraeus.

A boundary

The workflow or decision we would keep human, with the reason.

One next step

A single recommendation and price, typically €395 to €1,950 depending on scope, or a clear recommendation to spend nothing yet.


The honest boundary

The consultation is how Astraeus meets potential clients. Some sessions lead to paid work and some end with the findings note. Both are valid outcomes. We do not run the paid Workflow Audit inside the free session.


Direct answers

Common questions

Is there a catch?

No. The session is a bounded way for both sides to see whether there is useful work to do. You keep the findings note whether or not you hire Astraeus.

Do we need to prepare anything?

No presentation is needed. Bring the person who knows the workflow and, if useful, one recent example such as an enquiry, quote or monthly report.

Is our business too small?

The useful test is repetition, not headcount. If the same task absorbs several hours most weeks, it is worth examining.

Will you recommend a large AI project?

Only if the evidence supports one. Most sensible first steps are narrower: a process fix, tool setup, small automation, CRM improvement or paid workflow audit.

What happens to our information?

We map the workflow without copying customer data. Nothing identifying is published or used as a case study without written permission.


Bring one messy workflow.

Tell us what the business does and which piece of admin keeps returning. We will arrange the session from there.
