Proven AI Use Cases & Wins
Revenue & growth. Predictive AI search & ranking and lead-scoring models sharpen MQL→SQL conversion and sales velocity. Generative content and AI video boost creative throughput when tied to sales-assisted goals.
Efficiency & scale. RPA and LLM assistants automate back-office steps and augment agents with knowledge retrieval. Modern data stacks — cloud platforms, enterprise data management, and BI — make insights continuous.
Reliability & risk. MLOps and monitoring frameworks (MLOps software) improve model uptime, drift detection, and auditability.
When you’re ready to scale, compare vendors with this RFQ guide and how to choose the right agency.
Budgets & Pricing — What to Expect
| Workstream | Typical scope | Budget band (indicative) |
|---|---|---|
| AI Discovery Sprint | 2–4 weeks; use-case mapping; feasibility; ROI model | Entry → Moderate |
| Pilot / POC | 1 prioritized use case; success criteria; limited users | Moderate |
| Productionization | MLOps; monitoring; scale to users/markets | Mid → Higher |
| Managed AI | Continuous tuning; reporting; support SLAs | Monthly retainer |
Ask vendors to separate build vs run costs, and map deliverables to hours so proposals stay comparable. For social and multi-channel considerations, see multi-channel strategy.
Challenges to Plan For (and How to De-Risk)
Data readiness. Start with access and governance; reduce fragmentation early using enterprise data management and data cleansing.
Adoption. Pilot → rollout with enablement beats feature depth alone. Consider AI sales assistants and live chat assistants to drive frontline adoption.
Compliance & trust. Align security, privacy, and model risk upfront; prefer portable MLOps and observability.
Vendor lock-in. Favor open standards, clear data rights, and explicit exit plans. For broader buying patterns, read how companies hire faster on Entasher.
