The 9-Minute AI Audit: Trim Hours Weekly with a Portable Automation Health Check

Marcus and Sofia guide a fast, practical session that turns information overload into a lightweight audit you can run before every client or location change. In 9 minutes we diagnose the biggest time sinks, propose prioritized AI fixes, compare tool tradeoffs (Zapier vs Make vs n8n; ChatGPT vs Claude vs local LLM), and demonstrate exact prompts and automations you can copy. Listeners get before/after examples (manual invoice sorting: 2 hrs/week -> 10 min; proposal drafting: 4 drafts -> one AI-assisted template), a step-by-step implementation playbook, and ethical guardrails so automation reduces burnout without sacrificing quality. The panel balances Marcus's prompt-engineering and no-code automation tactics with Sofia's practical ethics and change-management checks, making this a reproducible routine for any nomad aiming to increase income and cut hours.
