Buying guide

What AI development costs (and how long it takes)

We do not publish a fake menu of dollar prices. Cost follows scope, data rights, evaluation, and whether you need a new product or a feature on one you already run.

What you can hold us to

First reply: within one business day.
First call: 20 minutes, fit or not-fit.
Typical honest MVP when scope is written: on the order of 8–12 weeks.

What moves cost

Discovery — unclear workflow costs more than a named operator job.
Data — no rights or no corpus means RAG is not a bargain, it is a blocker.
Irreversible actions — payments, legal send, production writes need approvals and tests.
Evaluation — skipping eval is cheaper on day one and expensive in month three.
New SaaS vs feature — a full platform is a different job from one assistant in an existing app.

Engagement models

Model A — your product, our execution and maintenance. Model B — limited 2026 design-partner path, lower upfront, commission-aligned. Discussed on the fit call, not as a public rate card.

Read when not to add AI if the cheapest option is to stop.

Questions

How much does an AI agent cost?

It depends on tools, approvals, and eval. We will not quote a global number on a webpage. The fit call is free of a proposal until we say yes.

How do I choose an AI development company?

Ask what they will not do, how they test, who supports week four, and whether you can open anything they already shipped. Aarohii’s live products are Pixellpeep, Captverse, and Auvora.

If the problem maps to work we actually ship, we will say so in 20 minutes.
