A full-time AI agent for a whole role
Each one is a single AI agent that does a role for you, the way a hire would: it works through your tasks every working day and handles the recurring duties on its own. We set up the day after you ask and start work within three days. One monthly price, 19% to 38% less than the typical US hire it stands in for.
Model usage, setup, safety limits and the agent's notes on your business are all in the price.
What a full-time AI agent costs against a hire.
A hire costs more than their pay: benefits and employer taxes come on top. Here is every agent we can compare against the typical US hire for the nearest job title, as a cost a month.
Typical (median) US pay for the nearest job title (BLS, May 2025) plus benefits and employer taxes (BLS, June 2026). Recruiting, equipment and the time it takes to start are not counted, so a real hire costs more; and an agent's work still needs a person on your side to approve it. Estimates from public figures, not a quote.
How these figures are worked out, and what they leave out
Pay is the US median for the nearest job title (BLS OEWS, May 2025, released 15 May 2026). A hire costs more than their pay, so it is divided by 0.70, the share of employer compensation that is pay (BLS, June 2026), which adds benefits and employer taxes. Recruiting, equipment, management time and cover for leave are not counted, so a real hire costs more still. An AI agent takes on the duties listed on its own page, which can be narrower or wider than the job title. On your side, an agent's work still needs someone to approve it, which is your time. AI agents with no close government job title are not compared. These are estimates from public figures, not a quote.
