Rules and sectors to check

The search results name no licence for building chatbots or automation. They do say that AI automation must meet Australian regulatory requirements in healthcare, finance, legal and government work, so tell the seller which sector you are in before you start.

Ask where your customer and business data will be hosted and who can access it. Hosting and support belong in the written quote.

Season and timing

The search results show no seasonal pricing for AI work. October is spring, and December to February is summer. Plan the go-live date around your own busy months, and allow time for testing before the summer period.

How it is bought here

Sellers quote a one-off build fee and a monthly running cost, in A$. Ask for the build fee, the monthly licence cost and any support fee as separate lines, so you can compare offers from different sellers in the same way.

What to write in your request

Say what you need automated, the channels you want the chatbot on, the features and the integrations with your tools, and what data the AI will use. Add who will host and support it, your deadline and your budget in A$.

BlaBlaPrice's AI reads your request, asks for missing details such as the channels and tools you use, and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia before it shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice answer in the chat with their own price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide.
