What FlowLens Captures

Every pattern that matters —
nothing that doesn't

FlowLens runs as a lightweight Windows background process. It observes how people actually work — not how they think they work.

Copy-Paste Flows

High-frequency copy-paste sequences across apps — a reliable signal for manual data transfer that can be automated.

Context Switching

Repeated back-and-forth between the same set of applications, indicating a missing integration or workflow connector.

Daily Sequences

Recurring app-use sequences that happen at the same time every day — prime candidates for scheduling and automation.

Time-of-Day Habits

Tasks consistently performed in specific time windows, revealing structured workflows hidden within unstructured days.

Short Frequent Tasks

High-volume micro-tasks that individually seem trivial but aggregate into hours of manual effort per week.

App Usage Depth

Time allocation across all applications, revealing where effort concentrates and where switching costs are highest.

The Audit Process

30 days from install
to roadmap

FlowLens runs a structured two-phase engagement. Each phase builds on the last — no generic recommendations, no wasted output.

Day 1

Install & Configure

FlowLens is installed on target machines. Client context is captured — role, tools used, key workflows. The audit begins immediately.

Days 1–5 — Initial Review

Broad Activity Capture

The pattern engine runs nightly, building a picture of actual workflow activity. App usage, sequences, and copy-paste flows are recorded locally.

Day 5 — Discovery Call

Validate & Prioritise

Consultant reviews Initial Review findings. Discovery notes are added to the highest-value patterns. Deep Dive targets are set.

Days 6–14 — Deep Dive

Focused Investigation

Deep monitoring on priority applications (Excel, Outlook, etc). Discovery notes from the call are incorporated into recommendations.

Day 30

Roadmap Delivery

AI-powered recommendations, prioritised by impact and feasibility, delivered as a client report and debrief session.

What you receive

At the end of the 30-day engagement

Workflow Intelligence Report Full client-facing dashboard showing app usage, detected patterns, and automation recommendations with business impact estimates.
Prioritised Automation Roadmap Recommendations ranked by ROI — from quick wins to strategic automations — with suggested tools and implementation approach.
Discovery Debrief A working session to walk through findings, answer questions, and agree the automation priorities your team will act on first.
Implementation Guidance For each recommendation, suggested tools, effort estimates, and sequencing advice so your team can move immediately.
Technical Overview

Lightweight, private,
Windows-native

FlowLens is built for enterprise environments. It runs quietly, respects IT policies, and never touches sensitive content.

Platform
Windows 10 / 11
Resource usage
Minimal — background process, <50MB RAM
Data storage
Local SQLite database — raw events stay on device
Cloud sync
Patterns, recommendations, and app stats only — never raw events
Do Not Track
Any app can be excluded — configured by client
Deployment
Single executable — no IT infrastructure required
Content captured
App names, window titles, usage durations, sequence patterns
Content never captured
File contents, email body text, browser URLs, passwords
Recommendations
AI-powered via Claude API, grounded in captured pattern data
