(01)what does an ai project usually cost?
the ai opportunity audit is $1,500 and is credited toward any roadmap or build booked within 30 days. a workflow automation build is $6,500–$15,000, an ai agent build $12,000–$30,000, and an integration platform starts from $30,000. operations retainers run from $1,500 a month. all prices are aud and are listed on the pricing page.
(02)where should we start?
with the audit. in one week we map your processes, data, and tools and rank the top five ai and automation opportunities by payback, so the first build is the one that pays for itself fastest. if you already know what you want, the roadmap sprint or a build can start directly.
(03)which tools do you integrate with?
xero, hubspot, shopify, microsoft 365, and google workspace are the common ones, plus most systems with an api. we build on the models and platforms that fit the job rather than a single vendor, and we say so when an off-the-shelf tool is the better answer.
(04)what happens to our data?
every build includes a privacy and data-handling review against the australian privacy act. customer and financial data stays in your systems, retrieval is scoped to what the agent needs, and we document where data goes and which models see it.
(05)do you still build websites and apps?
yes, as the delivery work inside an ai engagement. websites, mobile apps, shopify stores, ui/ux, and brand are quoted within the project rather than sold as stand-alone packages.
(06)do you only work with businesses in perth?
no. fantom labs is based in perth, western australia, and works with businesses across australia. most engagements run remotely with on-site sessions in perth where they help.
