Frequently Asked Questions
Is ChatGPT alone enough for my SME?+
For individual tasks like text drafts, emails, or research, ChatGPT Team (approx. CHF 30/user/month) is enough for most SMEs. Once multiple systems need to be connected (CRM, email, accounting) or several employees need the same workflows, automation like n8n or a structured rollout becomes more useful.
What does introducing AI tools cost a company?+
Individual licenses cost CHF 20 to 30 per user per month. Custom process automation typically costs CHF 5,000 to 25,000 one-time, team workshops CHF 2,500 to 8,000. Details in the article \
When is AI consulting worth it instead of just using tools?+
As soon as multiple departments are affected, customer data is being processed, or the team is unsure where AI may be used at all. A structured readiness assessment shows which of the five pillars (strategy, data, skills, processes, compliance) has the biggest leverage before money goes into individual tools.
