S1. Ep39 - What Does AI Automation Really Cost Your Business?

Episode notes

Wondering what it actually costs to implement AI automations in your business? You're not alone. In this episode, Katie and Noel break down the transparent truth about AI automation costs, from DIY learning paths to done-for-you consultancy fees, and all the hidden expenses in between. They reveal the real costs of the DIY route, including time investment for learning platforms like Make.com, mastering prompt engineering for predictable AI outputs, and why checking your current software pricing tiers before starting could save you from costly upgrade surprises. For the done-for-you approach, they explain typical consultancy structures, including upfront implementation fees and ongoing monthly maintenance costs. Katie and Noel also explore the often-overlooked opportunity costs of not automating, like the business executive who gained competitive advantage by delivering complex quotations in two days instead of two months, winning contracts while competitors were still calculating.
