No buying a pig in a poke
You know what you're getting into before you sign anything for implementation - with concrete numbers, not a salesperson's promises.
AI audit · paid separately from delivery
We come in, watch your processes as they actually run, and tell you which ones are worth automating and which are not. Every recommendation is checked against GDPR and the EU AI Act. The report stays with you, including when the conclusion is "leave this one alone".
The audit is analysis only - any implementation is a separate, deliberate decision on your side.
An AI audit works out, before anything gets built, which processes in a company are genuinely worth automating, what they cost today, and how long the investment takes to return. It ends with a map of processes carrying real numbers and a recommendation that sometimes reads "leave this one alone". AppWave runs the audit as a separately paid service, so its conclusion does not depend on whether you buy anything afterwards.
Why
The most expensive AI projects are the ones aimed at the wrong place. An audit costs a fraction of a misspent technology budget that never returns.
You know what you're getting into before you sign anything for implementation - with concrete numbers, not a salesperson's promises.
Numbers and priorities first, technology second. You start with what pays off the most.
Every recommendation passes a GDPR and EU AI Act filter before it ever reaches the plan.
How we work
A clear, four-stage process with a concrete result at the end.
What you get
Not generalities - ready material you can make a decision on.
We come in, watch the process live and map out where you lose time.
Each idea scored for savings, cost and risk.
An estimate together with the assumptions behind it, so you can check the reasoning, not just the number.
Whether the planned solutions are legal, before you invest in them.
Terms
No savings percentages pulled out of thin air. What follows holds regardless of what the audit finds.
We do not put savings percentages here, because they depend on the process. We work them out for you during the audit, together with the assumptions they rest on.
Why us
Four things that separate our audit from an online questionnaire.
We don't audit by questionnaire. We watch what your working day really looks like, because the process on paper rarely matches reality.
GDPR and the EU AI Act are part of every recommendation from the start, not a paragraph tacked on at the end of the report.
The audit is run by AppWave's co-founders, each covering a different part: Jakub Dulas on backend architecture and agent systems, Mateusz Cieśliński on infrastructure and what survives in production, Antoni Łubisz on interfaces and integrations. Names, skills and profiles are on the team page, so you know who is coming before they arrive.
Three things we say out loud before anyone signs anything. Automating a process you run a dozen times a month rarely pays for the automation. Automating a broken process gives you a faster broken process. And a system with no maintenance budget dies within a year, so we ask about that budget on the first call, not after delivery.
Guarantee
The Working Implementation Guarantee
If the audit finds no process that pays back within a sensible horizon, we will say so plainly and will not propose an implementation.
We can promise this because we do not earn on whatever rollout the review leads to. The review is paid for separately and ends in a report, including when the conclusion is: do not do this.
We set the price after the first call, based on how many processes are in scope, and it does not change. Two weeks, a concrete report at the end. No obligation to implement.

FAQ
Most often those around data entry, report generation and customer service, plus any repetitive activities that eat up employees' time.
Four ways. The process is rare, meaning it runs a dozen times a month and the automation has nothing to pay itself back from. The process is unstable, meaning it looks different every time and cannot be described by a rule or by a set of examples. The data it would run on is scattered across inboxes and spreadsheets, so it has to be put in order first, which is separate work and a separate cost. Or the process is simply broken, and automating it gives you a faster broken process. Each of those four goes into the report by name.
A demo that answers somehow can be put together over a weekend. The difference comes down to three things a demo does not have: a knowledge base built on your own data, a human approving decisions at the points where risk sits, and logs and monitoring that show what the system answered and why. The audit checks whether those three can be stood up at your company before anyone starts building.
No. The audit is analysis first. When it's done you get recommendations that may include simple organisational changes as well as AI proposals where it genuinely pays off.
Yes. We run the audit with GDPR in mind - we analyse what data is processed, where it's stored and how it can be secured, and we build compliance into every recommendation.
The audit has a fixed price, set by the number of processes and the depth of analysis. After an initial call we give you a concrete quote - no surprises at the end.
It is the fairest question anyone asks about this service. That is why the audit is paid for separately and ends with a document that stays with you whatever you decide next. If the numbers say no process returns the cost of an implementation, that is the audit result, and we write it down as such.
With a process that hurts, not with a tool that was in the news. In EY’s 2026 study, 49 percent of Polish companies called their AI implementation disappointing and 17 percent would not repeat the decision. The usual cause is not technical: the company buys a tool before deciding what problem it should solve and how anyone would know it had.
Subscription tools generally run 200-2,000 PLN a month, while custom implementations on the Polish market start at 8,000-30,000 PLN of setup alone, with maintenance billed on top. With us, the build, the care and the fixes sit inside one figure from 3,875 PLN a month, with no setup fee. You can price your own scope in the calculator on this site.
A system that runs in production, not a demo. Fixed scope and a fixed date, agreed before anyone signs.
Off-the-shelf tools force you to compromise. We build a system around your process, with AI where it genuinely gives an edge.
Not another chatbot. An agent wired into your email, CRM and knowledge base that takes over repetitive work.
Repetitive work a machine does faster and error-free. AI only where it pays off.
