The Python Script Assistant in AuditPal AI generates and reviews Python scripts, making sure everything is error-free. You can choose to generate a new script or review an existing one — just enter your task and any specific requirements — and the AI will produce a tailored draft. It’s designed to save time, reduce bugs, and help you build reliable automations, data pipelines, or analysis tools with confidence.

You start by inputting information into the following fields:

• Select an Action (Generate or Review)
• Enter Your Task or Paste Your Python Code Here
• Do You Have Any Specific Requirements or Review Criteria? (optional)

Best Practice: The more specific your inputs, the better the AI’s output will be. Use precise, audit-specific terminology in your inputs to improve AI accuracy and reduce editing time.

Once you’ve entered your information, click the ”Generate Response” button. The AI will instantly create a draft, complete with a timestamp for your records.

If the output isn’t quite right, simply click the ”Rewrite” button. This will clear the output and let you try again.

Tip: Always review AI-generated text using your professional judgment. The AI provides a strong starting point, but you’re the final authority.

The Python Script Assistant in AuditPal AI makes it easy to integrate the output into your workflow. You have two options:

• Copy to Clipboard: Copies the output as plain text for pasting into emails, documents, or reports.
• Download as PDF: Saves the output as a PDF, ready for sharing or uploading to your audit management system.

After generating your output, you’ll see optional “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” buttons. Your feedback helps us improve the Python Script Assistant. For detailed suggestions, please contact us.

• How accurate is AuditPal AI for audit documentation? Our AI model is trained on a curated dataset of audit reports, industry standards, and professional best practices. While it’s designed for accuracy, it’s a tool to assist you, not replace you. Always review all content.

• Is my data secure with AuditPal AI? Yes. We use enterprise-grade security protocols and don’t use any of your information to train our model. Our team also doesn’t see your inputs or outputs. We only collect the minimum necessary information, such as your email address.
