Pricing
One setup price. One monthly. Compute included.
Every install is quoted fixed after a free call. Your monthly covers everything — AI compute, monitoring, tuning, support. You will never see a separate API bill.

The edition behind our local proposals. Typical ROI math: 10 recovered hours a week at $50/hour is $2,000 a month — a 2× return that compounds.
Monthly / scoped$1,500–3,500/mo+
- Research Edition: document synthesis, literature review, local-LLM options
- Enterprise: multi-agent systems, custom workflows, compliance review
- Quoted after architecture, like everything else
For sensitive data and operations that need agents in more than one seat. Comparable regional engagements routinely run $50,000 and up.
- Compute
Always included. Skills are one-time or included — never per-use. Privacy upgrades (Local LLM) shift cost from monthly API to one-time hardware.
- Holding a proposal?
Proposals dated before July 2026 are honored exactly as written — price and terms. Your quote is your quote.
- Physical agents
Early-access pilots — companion, patrol, and campus platforms — priced on the physical agents page.
- What moves the number
How many systems the agent touches, how sensitive the data is, and how much custom workflow logic the job needs. The discovery call pins all three down.

Honest scoping
When you don't need us
If your only bottleneck is the phone ringing inside one tool's standard flow, a $99–299/month AI receptionist may be all you need — and we'll say exactly that on the call. ChatGPT is genuinely useful as a tool your staff prompts by hand.
The difference is judgment with memory: an agent knows Mrs. Alvarez has rescheduled twice and handles her "I might need to move Thursday, not sure yet" the way your front desk would — a reminder blast can't. You need an install when the work crosses systems, needs memory and judgment — "I might need to reschedule but I'm not sure yet" — or involves data you refuse to feed into someone else's model. Pipelines break silently; tools wait to be typed at; an agent notices, decides, and acts. That's what installation is for.
Get your number.
Fifteen minutes, free, then a written proposal with the ROI math done on your figures — or an honest "this isn't worth automating yet."
