06FAQ
Questions about Expertise.ai and Magentic Studio
How is Magentic Studio different from Expertise.ai?
Expertise.ai sells a platform of AI agents for sales and customer experience, priced on how you plan to use it after a demo. Magentic Studio is an AI agent agency. We build an agent for one of your workflows, deploy it on Qoren or on your own stack, and maintain it, at a fixed price agreed in writing before work starts.
Is Magentic Studio a real alternative to Expertise.ai?
Yes, if you want AI to handle repetitive sales or support work for your team. Expertise.ai gives you access to its platform. We build a working agent for one workflow, hand it over in your name, and maintain it if you want us to.
Do I have to set up and maintain the agent myself?
No. We build it, connect it to your tools, test it on your data with weekly demos, and hand over the runbook and every credential in your name. After launch we can maintain it on a flat monthly retainer, with model usage billed at cost.
Can you automate more than sales?
Yes. Besides sales follow-up we build agents for customer support, scheduling and reception, back office and data entry, and content and reporting. We start with one workflow, usually the one that costs your team the most time, and add others once it is working.
I already use Salesforce or HubSpot. Does that matter?
No. We build the agent around the tools you already use, so records stay where your team works now. The quote lists every integration the agent needs.
What does it cost to get started?
The 30 minute call is free, and so is the quote. Done-for-you agents on Qoren start at $2,000 per workflow, plus Qoren hosting from $39 a month billed by Qoren. Custom builds get a fixed-price quote, and maintenance is a flat monthly retainer. If you are still deciding what to automate, AI consulting and an audit cost €1,200 to €1,800.
How fast can we be live?
You get a written, fixed-price quote within 2 business days of sending your brief. The quote also fixes the build timeline, which depends on the workflow and its integrations. We launch one workflow first and add others once it is working.
