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.
Intellectyx, a US-based agentic AI development company, helps enterprises design and deploy secure, scalable AI agents tailored to business workflows. By following a phased approach—from discovery and pilot to production deployment—Intellectyx ensures predictable costs, faster time to value, and enterprise-ready AI solutions.
