When AI Delivers $1000/hr Value at $60/month - How Do We Price Innovation? A recent insight from OpenAI's CFO Sarah Friar caught my attention: their enterprise customers pay $60/month for AI capabilities that deliver value equivalent to $1000/hour professional services. This perfectly captures the pricing paradox we're navigating at Agentica AI. What happens when our AI platform accomplishes in minutes what typically requires teams of senior DevOps engineers hours or days to complete? A client automating a complex security compliance process in 15 minutes - a task that historically consumed three days (total time) of specialized engineering time. This extraordinary efficiency raises profound questions about value and pricing in the AI era. When technology can match - and often exceed - the capabilities of highly skilled professionals in DevOps, SecOps, and AppSec, how do we establish fair market rates? As Friar noted, the key is letting customers experience the transformation firsthand. The true value of AI becomes apparent when teams witness their productivity multiply and see complex challenges resolve in moments rather than months. I'm curious to hear from others navigating this new landscape: How do you approach pricing when your solution fundamentally transforms the value equation? What models make sense in a world where AI is redefining the possible?

3moAI is built on the collective wisdom of human intelligence, processed through vast data. Reflecting on my early consulting days at PwC, as a late entrant into the structured world of the Big-4, I initially worried about aligning their methodologies with my instincts and experience. I asked whether the focus was on results or the means to achieve them and was reassured: I was hired for my instincts and expected to deliver value within the boundaries of their risk management frameworks. This taught me a critical lesson: success in products and consulting is not solely about expertise or collective wisdom. It’s about contextualizing data and its interpretation while balancing evidence with instinct. True innovation is not AI replacing instinct but AI enhancing it. I firmly believe that AI won’t replace people—it will raise the bar for specificity, contextualization, and personalization. At the same time, it will exponentially improve efficiency, speed, and agility in discovery, ideation, rollout, and problem-solving. The future belongs to the synergy of human instinct and AI-driven innovation.
