Estimates use an AI cost of $2 per resolved conversation and a typical implementation of $90,000 for payback. Your actual results depend on ticket mix, knowledge-base quality, and escalation rate.

The economics of support automation

The ROI of an AI support agent comes down to one number: deflection - the percentage of tickets it resolves without a human. Multiply your deflected volume by the gap between a human-handled cost (roughly $11-15 all-in) and an AI conversation (about $2), and you have your monthly saving.

The single biggest lever on deflection is knowledge-base quality. Teams with clean, structured articles reach 65-78% deflection; teams with thin or stale content stall at 15-20%. That is why our deployments start with a data and knowledge audit before a single agent goes live. Read the detail in our Agentforce ROI breakdown.
