How much does an AI agent cost for an SME

How much an AI agent costs for an SME: three cost items, the factors that change the price and when it pays for itself

How much does an AI agent really cost? It is the question we get asked most often.

According to Istat, among Italian companies that considered artificial intelligence without adopting it, 43% name costs as an obstacle. In our new article we line up the three cost items:

  • the initial project
  • model usage
  • maintenance

The price depends mostly on how many business systems the agent has to touch and how closely its actions need to be controlled. And it pays for itself when the hours it frees up each month are worth more than it costs to keep it running.

In the article we explain how to run the numbers for your own case. Read the article (in Italian).
