Frequently Asked Questions
How is AI automation ROI calculated?
The calculator combines estimated labour hours saved, productivity gains and error reduction, then subtracts implementation and recurring AI costs.
Are the calculator results guaranteed?
No. Results are indicative estimates and depend on process complexity, data quality, implementation and user adoption.
Which business processes can be automated?
Common opportunities include customer support, sales follow-up, data entry, documents, invoices, recruitment, reporting, marketing and workflow management.
Does the calculator perform currency conversion?
No. Currency selection changes the symbol and formatting only; entered amounts are not converted.
What is needed for a detailed automation assessment?
A detailed assessment normally needs process volumes, handling time, labour cost, exception rates, current tools, data availability and implementation constraints.
