How much does it cost to develop a custom AI agent for enterprise workflows?
-
The cost of developing a custom AI agent for enterprise workflows typically ranges from $25,000 to $750,000+, depending on the complexity of the workflow, number of system integrations, security requirements, and level of autonomy required. Basic AI agents designed for limited automation or pilot use cases fall on the lower end, while production-grade, enterprise AI agents with governance, compliance, and AgentOps capabilities require higher investment.
In the USA, enterprises usually invest $75,000–$250,000 for a mid-scale AI agent that integrates with CRM, ERP, and data platforms, includes human-in-the-loop controls, and supports monitoring and logging. Fully autonomous, production-grade agents with advanced reasoning, compliance controls, and continuous optimization can exceed $500,000.
