How pricing works

Core pricing components, zero surprises

Every customer starts with the same building blocks. Pick agent count and capability tiers, then scale in a way finance can forecast.

Setup & deployment
$10,000 one-time

Includes your first agent instance and up to 1 Tier 1 capability. We install, secure, and test inside your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Why it matters

Covers foundational platform setup so your team starts with governed execution from day one.

Hardware appliance
$750 / month

A fully managed on-premise appliance that keeps Agent Aech close to your systems and data.

Why it matters

Delivers private-by-design operations with predictable infrastructure costs as you expand usage.

Agent instances
$250 / agent / month

Each agent instance is a Microsoft 365 user scoped to a domain (finance, operations, HR, legal) with its own email address, Teams presence, calendar, and file space.

Why it matters

IT provisions and governs agents just like any employee account, so security stays simple while you spin up domain experts on demand.

Tier 1 capability
$5,000 one-time + 12% / year

Standard capabilities for repeatable workflows. Ongoing upkeep is $600 per year (about $50 monthly).

Why it matters

Best for high-volume operational automations where reliability and iteration speed matter.

Tier 2 capability
$10,000 one-time + 15% / year

Advanced capabilities with broader system integration and higher business impact. Ongoing upkeep is $1,500 per year (about $125 monthly).

Why it matters

Use when workflows need deeper integration, tighter controls, or more complex decision logic.

Tier 3 capability
$20,000 one-time + 18% / year

Critical and regulated capabilities for high-assurance business functions. Ongoing upkeep is $3,600 per year (about $300 monthly).

Why it matters

Designed for sensitive or mission-critical workflows that require rigorous governance and QA.

Predictable by design

Unlimited usage is included. Costs only move when you add agents or capabilities, so finance can model spend without guesswork.

Aligned to complexity

Tiered capability pricing maps spend to business complexity instead of forcing one flat fee for every use case.

Planning-ready

Optional credit packs let you budget capability roadmaps in predictable blocks while preserving tier-level flexibility.

Agent Instance Model

Familiar Interfaces. Governed Execution.

Each agent instance is a Microsoft 365 user (e.g., agentaech@yourcompany.com). Teams keep familiar interfaces while execution stays inside platform controls.

Built for 100% localRoadmap: on‑appliance inference
Email-native intake

Receives work by email, processes requests, and routes outputs to the right systems under your policy model.

Teams-native presence

Receives work in Teams—chat or @mention to assign tasks and get results back in‑channel with updates and files.

Own calendar for work

Schedules its own tasks, runs, and reports on a cadence — no nudges needed.

Own OneDrive & SharePoint

Stores outputs, writes docs, and organizes artifacts in its space, honoring your permissions and retention.

No new tools

You talk to it like any colleague — email or Teams. That’s the interface.

Tenant-managed & auditable

Provisioned as an M365 user you control; respects your MFA, DLP, groups, and audit trails.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions answered.
What is Agent Aech?
Agent Aech is a secure execution platform for AI skills. Your team defines skills, connects capabilities to your systems and data, and runs governed workflows through familiar interfaces like email and Teams.
Are you a consulting firm or a product platform?
Agent Aech is a product platform. We provide onboarding support to help teams deploy their first production skills, but your team owns the platform, controls, and operating model.
Where does Agent Aech run?
Execution runs in your environment on a secure Agent Aech runtime. It is managed for reliability, while your team retains governance over identities, permissions, and operational controls.
Does our data leave our network?
Your operational data stays in your environment. Only minimal model context required for a response is sent through secure enterprise APIs according to your configuration and policy controls.
How is access controlled?
Each agent instance is a Microsoft 365 user your IT team manages. You govern access through existing groups, mailbox permissions, retention policies, MFA, and audit controls.
What is the difference between skills and capabilities?
Skills define workflow behavior and decision logic. Capabilities are the controlled actions and connectors that let those skills read, write, route, and update your systems and data.
What can we automate first?
Most teams start with intake and triage, validation and routing, scheduled reporting, and cross-system updates. From there, they scale by reusing platform primitives instead of building one-off automations.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing combines one-time platform setup, monthly runtime infrastructure, per-agent capacity, and tiered capability fees (Tier 1/2/3). Optional credit packs help plan mixed-tier roadmaps without guesswork.
How long does initial rollout take?
Initial rollout typically takes days to a few weeks depending on integration and governance requirements. The first deployment focuses on production readiness, not a throwaway pilot.
What happens in a walkthrough?
We review architecture fit, map capability requirements to your systems and data, and run one realistic workflow scenario so Ops and IT can evaluate production readiness together.
