Audit cost
Use the audit to avoid expensive guesswork
The lowest-risk first spend is often a scoped audit. It forces the business to define the workflow, data sources, approval owner, and success signals before paying for implementation.

Approved public prices
AI Agent Agency pricing at a glance
| Offer | Price | Best for | What the price should help decide | Human approval boundary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Pipeline Audit & Roadmap | NZ$1,000 | Teams that need to choose the first safe workflow before committing to a managed build. | Which sales, content, or operations workflow is worth building first; what inputs, review gates, and handoffs are needed. | The audit recommends a controlled path; it does not trigger outbound, publishing, or sensitive CRM changes. |
| AI Sales Pipeline Agents | NZ$5,000 setup + NZ$5,000/month | B2B teams that need researched prospect queues, fit notes, outreach drafts, follow-up suggestions, and CRM next actions. | Whether a reviewed sales-agent workflow can create better daily pipeline preparation than ad hoc manual research. | No emails, DMs, booking handoffs, or sensitive CRM changes without human approval. |
| AI Content Production Agents | NZ$5,000 setup + NZ$5,000/month | Founder-led or lean content teams that need briefs, drafts, repurposing ideas, and claim checks prepared for review. | Whether a reviewed content workflow can improve consistency without automatic publishing. | No publishing without editorial approval; no invented proof, ranking, testimonial, or performance claims. |
Setup cost
Setup pays for workflow design and launch
Setup work usually includes mapping the workflow, configuring queues, drafting operating rules, preparing prompts or templates, and connecting the first tools where safe.
Monthly cost
Monthly spend pays for operating support
Managed AI agent workflows need maintenance, quality review, iteration, and reporting. The monthly fee supports practical throughput, not approval-free automation.
Cost drivers
What changes the cost of an AI automation project?
- Workflow risk: outbound messages, publishing, customer records, and commercial claims need stronger review gates.
- Data readiness: messy CRM fields, unclear sources, or missing content inputs increase setup effort.
- Integration depth: simple reviewed queues are easier than multi-system changes across CRM, email, project management, and reporting tools.
- Human review design: approval policies, escalation rules, and ownership need to be clear before agents prepare work at scale.
- Iteration cadence: teams that want weekly refinement and reporting need more ongoing operating support than a one-off template.
NZ buyer context
Regional pages should be practical, not doorway pages
For New Zealand teams, cost discussions should include local operating reality: lean teams, privacy expectations, practical workflow ownership, and the need to prove one useful workflow before expanding. See AI automation agency NZ for the regional implementation frame.
Implementation path
Do not buy “full autonomy” before defining approvals
The safer path is audit → one reviewed queue → measured expansion. The AI agent implementation services page explains how implementation turns strategy into controlled sales or content workflows.

FAQ
Questions NZ buyers ask about AI automation cost
- How much does AI automation cost in NZ?
- AI Agent Agency publishes three approved prices: NZ$1,000 for the AI Pipeline Audit & Roadmap, NZ$5,000 setup plus NZ$5,000 per month for AI Sales Pipeline Agents, and NZ$5,000 setup plus NZ$5,000 per month for AI Content Production Agents.
- What should an NZ business buy first?
- Most teams should start with an audit before a managed build so the first workflow, approval gates, data inputs, and owner responsibilities are scoped before implementation.
- Do these prices guarantee sales, rankings, or output volume?
- No. These public prices describe approved offer scope, not guaranteed sales, rankings, booked calls, traffic, or content performance outcomes.
- What costs can sit outside an AI automation agency fee?
- Common separate costs can include existing CRM, email, content, analytics, or automation software subscriptions, internal review time, and any approved third-party tools the business chooses to keep using.
- Why does human approval affect cost?
- Human approval adds operating discipline: review queues, escalation rules, quality checks, and clear ownership. It reduces risk for outbound, CRM changes, and publishing compared with approval-free automation.
