FinTech HealthTech SaaS Roofing HVAC Real estate Law firms Events FAQ ## AI agent questions, answered **What is an AI agent, and how is it different from a chatbot?** A chatbot answers questions. An AI agent takes action: it can update your CRM, send emails, book meetings or process an order, always following rules you set and asking a person when it should. **Do we need technical skills to use an AI agent?** No. Most of our clients are founders, operations leads or owners. We write every update in plain English and train your team at launch. **How long does it take to build an AI agent?** You'll see a working first version within 1–2 weeks. Most agents go live in 4–8 weeks, depending on how many tools they connect to. **How much does AI agent development cost?** Projects start from $3k. You get an estimate within 24 hours of your discovery call, and every project begins with a fixed-price first phase, so there are no surprises. **Is our data safe?** Yes. NDAs and data processing agreements are standard, your data stays in your own accounts, and models are not trained on it. Private infrastructure is available for regulated industries. **Who owns the agent once it's built?** You do. The code, prompts, accounts and documentation are all yours, with no lock-in. Another team could take it over without a rewrite. By industry ## Industries we build this for Guides and real numbers from ai agents work in businesses like yours.
