Frequently asked questions
What is an AI automation agency?
A business that builds and maintains AI-powered automations for clients — things like inbox triage, lead enrichment, or invoice chasing — usually charging a setup fee plus a monthly retainer. You don't need to be a developer; most run on no-code tools like n8n.
What AI automations can I sell?
The ones businesses pay for repeatedly: content repurposing, invoice chasing, inbox triage, lead enrichment, review responses, meeting-to-action, competitor monitoring, onboarding, data entry, and RAG support agents. Each is worth $500–$5,000 to build plus a retainer.
How much do AI automations sell for?
Typically $500–$5,000 per build depending on complexity, plus monthly retainers of $100–$1,000. Price on the value delivered (hours or money saved), not the time it took you to build.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. These automations run on n8n, a no-code visual tool, plus free-tier AI models. If you can follow a recipe, you can build them.
How do I get my first client?
Build one automation for yourself first, then offer it to one business you can reach — free or cheap — for a case study. Use that result to raise your price and land the next one.
