"How much will it cost?" is the first question every business owner asks me about AI. Most answers online are either "it depends" or a big agency package. So here are my actual numbers, from setting up AI workflows for Malaysian contractors and SMEs.

First: there's no fixed package

AI automation works best when you start with the one task that costs your team the most time. So I charge for time used, not a bundle:

Free task check (30 minutes): you show me the paperwork that eats your week. I send a written scope.

AI introduction and set-up: RM600 per 4-hour session, usually once.

Workflow build: RM400 per 4-hour session, on-site or remote.

Monthly support: RM300 a month for fixes, small changes and a weekly check-in.…
