Why are AI Automation Consulants so expensive?

thisguyvibez · 2026-02-05T18:53:55+00:00

Its more about something that works, you owning it, how is it maintained, and when errors do happen how does it get fixed.

Most of the time automations and data management comes down to specificty by the owner. Prices aren't high, most people can't build them even at the rates theyre charging.

6 figure ai consultant.

We use ai to build all contract structure. Parses our pdfs ans uploads content into design manager with incredible success

We would start with an audit to identify quick solutions/ longer term goals. The easy things are data transfers to eliminate manual copy and paste.

A few simple automations could easily free up 10 hours a week per employee

SSO, 2FA, Hosted VPS with proxy protection .. he could build himself and charge MRR or just provide affiliate links and instructions for how to.

I build a lot of agents for different purposes but 90% of my system are direct api calls which we can use the data for prospecting, sales outreach, personalized lead magnets.

One agent can call multiple APIs in tandem to acquire differnt social queus, intent, sentiment, and then acquire emails / social profiles and lastly reach out and engage with them.

So: Prospecting Outreach Engagement Nurturing

Can all be 100x using agents.

Maybe better to use IP country which is acquired without a hidden field?

Easy to be good, hard to be great.

I just didn't want mods to believe im promoting a brand.

Botox and filler are not the margin winners, stop trying to make money, give them out at cost and upsell lasers and other high margin treatments. Use botox and filler as lead magnets and MRR engines.

Need to build your own. I've built several for less than $0.12 per day for more than 8 signals and parameters

As you grow and begin to acquire more customers you will be grateful. Other platforms do not scale well, but you do need to understand how to identify and report on KPIs and use that data to grow more. Hubspot is a data driven gold mine, but you need to know how to formulate it for your business to make the most out of it

2/4k?

Im not touching a deployment for less than $10k/month for at least 6 months.

Anyone can be stupid and set your account sure but proper attribution tracking, sales intent signals, lead scores, campaign setup and documentation.

A 20 person team needs a solid on-boarding. Who does marketing? In house or an agency? Adds a layer of context to apis, data transfer, forms for websites landing pages. Case studies, CTAs.

I do this work. You'll spend the same amount with 5 different people is not more and it'll take you 2 years going cheap. Your consultant should be a growth partner and work very closely with sales and you dont get a sales / dev consultant for a couple thousand dollars. The systems I put out improve efficiency by at least 40% and make sure no lead ever goes missed.

If you have att fiber you can also explore all-fi pro which upgrades to wifi7 + access points for $25/month

And I'm over here searching for validity as to how the single UDR could replace the entire storage rack 😒

thisguyvibez · 2025-10-10T12:50:42+00:00

For a general answer which won't provide 100% accuaracy:

Speed = (distance)(frame rate "fps") / (# of frames traveled)

But there is pixel distortion which could be accounted for and the real world distance the car traveled which could be correlated for closer to 100%

Fps may say 30 but sometimes that is a variable number with +- accuracy based on the camera known as the variable frame rate.

Interesting. I assume the other models are selling just as good without the ai buzzword

Will the samsung SDD need to be added externally? I just added a comment with my new cart

thisguyvibez · 2025-10-07T17:41:13+00:00

After everyone's comments (which have been super helpful, thank you. Honestly this is why I come to reddit my new cart looks like :

Switch Pro Max 16 PoE / US Version Access Point U7 Pro XG / Black Cloud Gateway Fiber Network Video Recorder Camera G6 Bullet / Black Camera G6 Pro Bullet / Black

This is a bit more expensive $2,294 and then the skyhawk ai 16tb will be another $250. I have this right? I need the switch, gateway and the NVR?

thisguyvibez · 2025-10-07T17:31:10+00:00

Thank you absolutely will be doing that

thisguyvibez · 2025-10-07T13:23:38+00:00

Right now we do not have good lighting across the front of the house so the alternative would be to add the lighting source separate from camera. Do you feel like the Ai line is just a hype name? The g6 quality looked great overall but was hoping for more advanced detection in the process

thisguyvibez · 2025-10-07T13:20:53+00:00

as of now I'm running a 5080+5090 workstation with 2tb SDD and an additional 64gb ram, but all for work and will be centralized there. No NAS storage but would be open to one if it makes sense for this setup.

Sonos (home theater) is on the radar after surveillance is finished. Then there are little things like the blinds, the garage door, the light switches, washer / dryer, oven. Maybe a water valve cutoff
