Costs go down, service quality actually goes up

Where the savings come from

  • 01

    120+ chats per agent, every day

    Across our live deployments each active agent handles over 120 conversations a day, because AI takes the first reply and the routine questions and hands the rest to your team.

  • 02

    AI cost per conversation down 34%

    Real numbers from our largest deployment: after moving to a cache-friendly model, AI cost per 1,000 conversations fell from $2.35 to $1.55, week over week. Across all deployments, 87% of prompt tokens are served from cache.

  • 03

    1 deployment for many stores

    Have 5, 10, or 50 stores? Still 1 server and 1 admin dashboard, not one deployment per outlet. The package is sized by how many stores and agents you run, so the bill grows with your operation instead of multiplying per outlet.
