AI prices fell again. Last year's 'not worth it' is now worth it
New AI models arrived this month at sharply lower prices. Each drop makes more of your daily work worth automating.
It is time to re-run the numbers on the projects you rejected last year.
What happened
September brought new models from the leading AI companies and, with them, another round of price cuts. Capability that carried a premium at the start of the year is now available for a fraction of it.
Why price matters more than power
Most business tasks do not need the most powerful model. They need a good one, used thousands of times a day. Reading every incoming message, checking every invoice, summarising every site visit: these were too expensive to automate when each one carried a real cost. At current prices, the cost per task has become small enough to stop being the deciding factor.
Re-run the numbers
- List the tasks you ruled out. Anything rejected on cost in the last eighteen months.
- Count the volume. How many times a day or month does it happen?
- Compare with staff time. Minutes per task, multiplied out.
- Test one. A two-week trial tells you more than a forecast.
What does not get cheaper
Models get cheaper. Integration does not. Connecting AI to your systems, your data and your people is where projects succeed or fail, and it is worth doing properly once. That is where BWC puts its effort with BizBot and Tessaro: the model underneath can change as prices fall, while the platform your business relies on stays in place.
