How long does it take to set up an AI agent?
Most jobs are running within a week. It starts with a fifteen-minute chat on WhatsApp. Your agent is built around that one job, you see exactly what your agent does before launch, and then your agent starts working.

Three steps
Show work that repeats, in a short chat on WhatsApp. Your agent gets built around your work, using your tools. Then your agent starts working, and your team changes nothing.
What can make it take longer
A job with lots of special cases, several apps that must work together, or a job nobody has written down yet. Bigger or messier jobs can take longer, and you will hear that before anything is built.
What it costs
It depends on your job. After a first chat you get a clear price, and nothing is built until it is agreed in writing.
More questions
- What if an AI agent does not suit my business?
- That gets said on your first call. Saying no early beats wasting your time.
- Can I switch my agent off later?
- Yes. Your agent works for you, and you can switch your agent off any time.
