The job
A focused bot is different from an agent that owns a complete business process.
- One clear outcome
- Rules and exceptions
- Human approval points
FollowAI / project scope
Price the job,not a generic tier
A simple bot may start around $300–$500. A connected agent or operating system is quoted after the job, information, integrations, permissions, interface, and support are clear.

Four scope drivers
What actually changes the cost of an AI build
The quote follows the work the system must perform and control—not the size of the client.
02
Connected systems
Each CRM, inbox, database, website, or internal tool adds real integration work.
- APIs and credentials
- Data mapping
- Failure handling
03
Information
Company knowledge has to be cleaned, permissioned, updated, and made useful to the agent.
- Source quality
- Access boundaries
- Update process
04
Operation after launch
Monitoring, updates, support, and vendor usage are scoped around the system you choose to run.
- Monitoring
- Change requests
- Usage allowance

Show us the job. We will separate the smallest useful first build from the larger system, list the cost drivers, and define what happens after launch.
Scope FAQ
What is defined before development begins
Can you give me a starting number?
Yes. A simple, focused bot build may begin around $300–$500. A connected agent or business system is quoted after its data, integrations, permissions, interface, and support requirements are clear.
Why is there no fixed package price?
Two bots can look similar from the outside and require completely different work behind the interface. We price the defined job and control boundary instead of forcing every company into the same package.
What happens before I approve a build?
We define the outcome, connected systems, exceptions, approval points, ownership, and ongoing vendor costs. You receive a written scope before development starts.
Is ongoing management required?
No. FollowAI can hand over a documented system or continue operating it with monitoring, knowledge updates, vendor changes, and technical support. Ongoing service is scoped separately.
Will I know the API and platform costs?
Yes. Expected model, hosting, automation, and third-party costs are listed before launch. Those costs change with vendors and usage, so they are not hidden inside a universal package price.
