Why this number isn't obvious
The AI cost is almost always trivial next to the agent hours it saves, so the real analysis is deflection rate, not token price. The calculator proves the spend is small; the business case is the support headcount you avoid adding as you scale.
Frequently asked questions
How do I justify a deflection bot's cost?+
Compare AI spend to loaded agent cost per ticket. Even a 30% deflection rate usually saves far more in agent time than the bot costs to run.
Should deflection use RAG?+
For a large or fast-changing docs base, yes — retrieval keeps answers current without a huge system prompt. See the docs Q&A calculator for that pattern.
