Frequently Asked Questions

Why does AI automation cost vary so much — ₹2L to ₹1Cr+?

The cost depends on: (1) how many steps the process has, (2) how many exceptions need handling, (3) what systems it needs to integrate with, (4) whether it requires voice AI or just text, (5) how much custom model training is needed. A single-step extraction job is cheap; a voice agent that integrates with 5 systems and handles 200 exception cases is expensive.

Is XPndAI's fixed-price model cheaper than hourly vendors?

Usually yes. Hourly vendors typically bill ₹3,000–8,000/hour per developer. A 6-week project at 2 developers = 480 hours = ₹14–38L in hourly billing, often more with overruns. XPndAI's fixed price for the same scope might be ₹8–15L — you know the cost upfront, with no risk of overrun.

What is the ROI of AI automation for Indian businesses?

Typical ROI ranges: Document automation — 6–12 month payback, 3–5x 3-year ROI. Voice AI for support — 8–18 month payback (replaces 2–4 agents). Loan origination automation — 4–8 month payback (enables 3x volume without headcount). These are real figures from XPndAI client projects, not estimates.

How do I calculate what AI automation will save my business?

Start with: (1) How many hours/month does the manual process take? × hourly cost of staff doing it = annual manual cost. (2) What is the project's fixed price? (3) Divide fixed price by annual savings = payback months. Most XPndAI clients see payback in 6–18 months.
