Custom Chatbot Development
Unlike large AI projects that require deep data integration or complex model training, chatbots have a smaller planning and development overhead. That means you get a high-impact, fully functional conversational assistant without the heavy price tag — and without months of planning cycles.
Chatbot Scoping & Prototype
For most projects we will need to spend 2-5 days scoping the project out & developing a prototype.

Other Costs
All AI projects have recurring operational costs such as hosting, API usage, and LLM access. These are billed monthly based on your project’s actual consumption and complexity with a management fee.
