Your AI Usage Profile
How will you primarily use AI?
• Customer Support: Automated responses to customer inquiries
Number of customer tickets, documents, or queries per month
Tasks = individual AI interactions (answering a question, analyzing a document, creating content).
Default 5,000/month is typical for SMBs with 5-10 employees generating ~25 queries/day.
Default 5,000/month is typical for SMBs with 5-10 employees generating ~25 queries/day.
Typical complexity of AI tasks (affects token usage & cost)
• Moderate: Multi-paragraph responses, basic analysis, standard customer inquiries requiring context
Number of employees who will use AI
Average time AI saves per task
Default 15 min based on industry average: AI reduces 20-30 min tasks to 5-10 min through instant responses, automated analysis, and eliminating search time.
Total cost per hour (salary + benefits + overhead)
Projected AI usage increase
Default 20% reflects typical AI adoption curve - as teams see benefits, usage naturally expands to more use cases and departments.
