What does a custom AI agent cost?

Assistant

10:32:15

AI automation engineering starts at $8,000 per project for a RAG system or AI agent build, shipped production-ready with evaluations and edge-case testing [1]. Smaller engagements exist: a single-workflow automation typically starts around $2,500, and an AI feature with a full evaluation and QA harness from $12,000. Advisory time is $150/hr [1]. Every price is a starting point — the final number is a fixed quote agreed after a short scoping conversation, before any work begins [2].
