What is the difference between a chatbot and an AI agent?
A chatbot responds to questions with pre-defined answers. An AI agent understands context, makes decisions, executes multi-step workflows, and integrates with your systems. A chatbot tells you the order status. An agent checks the CRM, verifies the delivery, files a support ticket if there is an issue, and notifies you with a resolution.
How do you ensure AI agents do not make wrong decisions?
We implement confidence thresholds, business rule constraints, and human escalation paths. Agents operate within defined boundaries for routine tasks. For ambiguous or high-stakes situations, they escalate to humans with full context and reasoning. Every decision is logged and auditable.
Can AI agents integrate with our existing tools?
Yes. We specialize in integrating agents with CRM, ERP, helpdesk, databases, and custom APIs. Agents can read customer history, update records, create tickets, trigger workflows, and send notifications across your entire tech stack.
What platforms can you deploy agents on?
Web chat, WhatsApp Business API, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, SMS, voice (phone), and custom mobile apps. We can deploy the same agent across multiple channels with unified conversation history.
How long does AI agent development take?
Simple FAQ agents with basic integration take 2-3 weeks. Multi-capability agents with CRM integration and workflow execution take 4-8 weeks. Complex autonomous agents with multiple tools, reasoning chains, and custom knowledge bases take 8-12 weeks.
What is the cost of AI agent development?
Basic agent development starts at $8K-$15K. Multi-capability agents with integrations range from $20K-$50K. Enterprise agent platforms with multiple agents, custom knowledge bases, and advanced reasoning range from $50K-$150K+. Ongoing training and maintenance packages are available.
