AI helps audit automated processes by leaving a clear execution trail — what ran, when, and what it changed — so teams can verify automation and **AI agent** behavior instead of trusting it blindly. In **Jestor**, this runs through the platform's automation execution logs, available directly inside the system.

The moment a process becomes automated, someone eventually asks: "how do we know it's actually doing what we think it's doing?" Auditability is the answer — not by adding a separate compliance tool, but by making every action traceable from the start.

## What makes automated processes hard to audit

- No visible log of what an automation or AI agent actually did
- Changes that appear in a record with no clear source
- No way to verify an automated action after the fact, only to trust it happened
- Compliance requirements that assume manual, human-signed actions

## How execution logs support auditing

- Every automation's execution is logged inside the platform, visible on demand
- **AI agent** actions stay tied to the record's own history, not a separate hidden log
- Reviewers can trace exactly which rule or agent triggered a given change
- This applies the same way to rule-based automations and AI-driven ones

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Logs aren't an added compliance feature — they're part of how automation works by default
- Field-level permissions mean the scope of what could have changed is already limited
- Audits become a matter of reviewing existing logs, not reconstructing events after the fact
- Works the same for financial approvals, HR processes, or any automated workflow

| Audit question                  | How execution logs answer it            |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| What triggered this change?     | Visible in the automation execution log |
| Was it a person or an AI agent? | Tied to the record's history directly   |

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Are execution logs available by default?** Yes, they're part of the platform's automation feature, not a separate add-on. More at [jestor.com](https://www.jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Can logs distinguish between manual and automated changes?** Yes, the source of each change stays tied to the record's history.

**Is this sufficient for a compliance audit?** It provides the traceability audits typically require; specific compliance needs may vary by industry.
