Frequently Asked Questions
How much does AI automation cost for a business?
AI automation projects range from $5,000 for simple workflow automations (Zapier/Make integrations) to $50,000-$200,000 for custom AI agent development and LLM integration. Most growth-stage companies start with a $10,000-$25,000 pilot project that automates one high-value workflow, then expand based on ROI.
What business processes can be automated with AI?
Common AI automation use cases include lead scoring and routing, customer support triage, document processing, email drafting, data entry, report generation, invoice processing, scheduling, and content creation. The highest-ROI automations eliminate repetitive tasks that consume 10+ hours per week of team time.
What is the difference between AI automation and regular automation?
Regular automation follows fixed rules - if X then Y. AI automation uses machine learning and language models to handle tasks that require judgment, context, or natural language understanding. AI automation can process unstructured data, make decisions based on patterns, and improve over time.
How long does it take to implement AI automation?
Simple workflow automations take 1-2 weeks. AI agent development takes 4-8 weeks. Full LLM integration with custom fine-tuning takes 8-16 weeks. WETYR recommends starting with a 2-week discovery sprint to identify the highest-ROI automation opportunities before committing to a build timeline.
Is AI automation safe for my business data?
Yes, when implemented correctly. WETYR builds AI automations with data encryption, access controls, audit logging, and compliance guardrails. We can deploy models on-premise or in private cloud environments for sensitive data. SOC 2 compliant implementations are available for regulated industries.
