A custom AI agent from Hibr AI starts at $10,000 and typically reaches a live production system in 2–8 weeks, with full code and IP handed to you. Simpler productized agents start far lower — from $149/month — while a scoping AI Strategy Audit runs $2,000–$8,000. Your final price depends on scope, integrations and data readiness.
There's no single sticker price for a custom AI agent — the honest answer is a range, and where you land inside it depends on how much the agent has to do and what it has to connect to. At Hibr AI, pricing is fixed and public, so you can size the work before you ever get on a call.
Below is every route to a working agent, what each includes, the typical timeline, and the three or four factors that actually move the number. Every Hibr build ships with full code and IP handover — you own 100% of what we deliver, with a sovereign on-prem option for when your data has to stay behind your own walls.
| Option | Price | Timeline / cadence | What it includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Strategy Audit | $2,000–$8,000 | ~1 week | Opportunity map, impact/effort scoring, reconciled ROI model, costed 90-day roadmap, and an interactive report you can pressure-test |
| AI Quick Start Pack | $2,000 | One-off pack | A first working agent built, tested and handed over so you can self-host it on your own infrastructure and key |
| Custom AI Build | From $10,000 | 2–8 weeks | Bespoke agent(s) plus systems integration, testing and full code + IP handover; instant estimate available online |
| AI Growth Retainer | $3,000–$10,000 / month | Ongoing (monthly) | Continuous building, iteration and operation of your AI systems by the AI fleet, founder-reviewed |
| AI Outreach Agent | From $5,000 | Productized agent | Productized outbound outreach agent |
| Data Intelligence Report | From $1,500 | One-off, per report | Productized market and data intelligence deliverable |
| AI Lead Qualifier | From $199 / month | Monthly subscription | Productized agent that scores and qualifies your inbound leads |
| Social Content AI | From $149 / month | Monthly subscription | Productized agent that generates and publishes social content |
Hibr AI's Custom AI Build starts at $10,000 and typically reaches a live production system in 2–8 weeks, including full code and IP handover. To start smaller, a productized agent like the AI Lead Qualifier costs from $199/month, and a scoping AI Strategy Audit runs $2,000–$8,000. If you'd rather keep building and running systems over time, an AI Growth Retainer is $3,000–$10,000/month. All pricing is fixed and public.
The 'from $10,000' Custom AI Build covers a bespoke agent designed around your workflow, integration with your existing systems, building and testing by Hibr's AI fleet under founder review, and handover of 100% of the code and IP. You can generate an instant, itemised estimate on the Custom AI Build page. The figure is a starting point — scope and integration depth are what move it upward.
Four things move the number most. Scope — how many tasks and edge cases the agent must handle. Integrations — each system it reads from or writes to adds engineering. Data readiness — clean, accessible data is cheaper than data that has to be untangled first. And the deployment model — a sovereign on-prem build running open-weight models inside your own servers costs more than a standard cloud deployment, but keeps your data behind your walls.
It depends on the goal. If you have a clear, narrow job — qualifying leads or publishing social content — a productized tool from $149–$199/month is the fastest, lowest-risk start. If you're unsure where AI actually pays off, a $2,000–$8,000 AI Strategy Audit maps the opportunities, scores them by impact and effort, and returns a costed 90-day roadmap — so you invest in the right build. A one-off AI Quick Start Pack is $2,000.
A sovereign on-prem deployment runs open-weight AI models entirely inside your own servers or private cloud, so your data never leaves your walls — combined with full code ownership. Because it means provisioning and hardening infrastructure you control rather than calling shared cloud APIs, it typically sits at the higher end of the Custom AI Build range. It's the route for regulated, sensitive, or sovereignty-conscious workloads.
The lowest entry points are the productized subscription tools: Social Content AI from $149/month and the AI Lead Qualifier from $199/month. Both are pre-built agents you can start on quickly. For a one-off, the AI Quick Start Pack is a fixed $2,000.
A bespoke Custom AI Build typically reaches a production system in 2–8 weeks. A scoping AI Strategy Audit takes about one week. Across all engagements, Hibr AI targets production in 1 to 12 weeks.
Yes. Every Hibr AI build includes full handover of 100% of the code and intellectual property. You own what is delivered outright, with no lock-in — and with the sovereign on-prem option you can run it entirely inside your own infrastructure.
Yes. Hibr AI publishes fixed prices for every service: AI Strategy Audit $2,000–$8,000, AI Quick Start Pack $2,000, Custom AI Build from $10,000, and AI Growth Retainer $3,000–$10,000/month. You can size the work before speaking to anyone.
It means open-weight AI models run inside your own servers or private cloud, so your data never leaves your walls, combined with full ownership of the code. It is designed for organisations with strict data-residency, privacy, or regulatory requirements.
Hibr AI runs an AI-operated, human-reviewed model: a fleet of AI agents does the building and testing, and the founder reviews and signs off every deliverable. That is how production timelines are targeted in the 1–12 week range while quality stays under human control.
