Discuss your requirements View pricingSeparate setup from usage
Initial work includes defining the conversation, preparing knowledge sources, integration and evaluation. Running costs depend on actual usage, selected providers, retrieval infrastructure and support. A simple FAQ assistant and an authenticated assistant taking business actions need different scopes.
Include knowledge preparation
Outdated, conflicting or incomplete documents reduce answer usefulness. Decide who approves source material, how it is updated and which records each user may access. Data preparation and permission-aware retrieval can matter more than the chat interface.
Test the budget assumptions
Use representative conversations to measure response quality and usage before forecasting a larger rollout. Include escalation, monitoring and maintenance. Ask the proposal to state traffic assumptions and identify third-party charges without treating estimates as guaranteed costs.
