Ask three shops to price a "custom AI agent" and you'll get $500, $8,000, and "let's talk." The spread isn't greed — it's that "agent" means wildly different things. A single workflow with one trigger and one action is a afternoon. A multi-step agent wired to your CRM, with guardrails and a weekly report, is a project. Know which one you're buying.
You rarely need a fine-tuned model, a vector database, or a dashboard nobody opens. Most useful agents are a trigger, a model call, a tool or two, and good constraints. The shops that pad with shelfware are the ones with the scary quotes.
Start with one agent that hurts — usually onboarding or invoice-chasing. Scope it tightly, get it running for a month, measure the hours saved, then expand. Our $120 custom tier ships exactly this: one real agent, wired to your tools, with the guardrails set and a weekly accuracy report — no shelfware, no mystery line items.
"What happens on day 30 when something breaks?" The answer tells you whether you're buying software or a partner. The right one says they monitor it and fix it; the wrong one says "it's self-serve."
