Get an exact quoteWhat drives AI development cost
AI cost splits into a one-time build and ongoing model usage. The build depends on what you’re making (a simple chatbot vs a RAG assistant vs an autonomous agent), whether it uses your own data, and capabilities like voice, multi-channel or taking real actions. See AI development for how WavX builds practical, ROI-focused AI.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build an AI chatbot or app in India?
Indicatively, a focused AI chatbot starts around ₹1.5–3 lakh, a RAG assistant on your own data ₹3–6 lakh, and an AI agent / automation ₹5–8 lakh+. Model/usage costs are separate and usage-based. The calculator above gives a range from your setup.
What is RAG and does it cost more?
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) grounds the AI in your own documents and data so answers are accurate to your business. It costs a bit more than a generic chatbot because of the data pipeline, but it's what turns a toy into a genuinely useful tool.
Are there ongoing costs?
Yes — model/token usage is an ongoing, usage-based cost separate from the one-time build. WavX designs prompts and pipelines to keep these efficient.
