What an engagement includes

Consultancy that ships software: every phase ends with a deliverable you can check, not a deck.

01 · 1–2 weeks
Assessment
We pick one process with an owner and volume, collect real input examples, and map data, systems and permissions. You get a feasibility estimate, a scope and a quote.
02 · 6–12 weeks
Build
We build the agent or knowledge agent, integrate it with your ERP, CRM or accounting system, and define what it can read, what it can write and where a person must approve.
03 · ongoing
Production and handover
Go-live with logs, monitoring and agreed metrics. Documentation, training for your internal team and, if needed, maintenance on a retainer.

What it costs

Market bands we use in our own quotes, not a price list. Price is driven by system permissions and data quality, not by the model.

PoC / simple automation: €3,000–8,000
Production agent (1–3 systems): €15,000–35,000
Agent on ERP/CRM with system actions: €35,000–60,000

Plus recurring fees for models, cloud and maintenance, typically a few hundred to a few thousand euros a month.

2026 cost breakdown

Who it is for, and who it is not for

Companies with a repeatable process built on unstructured input, exceptions and several steps (invoices, customer requests, tenders, HR paperwork).
Teams that already have an AI pilot and want it in production with permissions, an audit trail and an owner.
International teams looking for a partner in Italy that works in English and Italian.

Anyone looking only for an AI strategy on slides, with no software to deliver.
Anyone who needs binding legal advice on the AI Act or GDPR: we are not a law firm.
Anyone with an FAQ chatbot or a fixed flow: search and RPA cost less.

Frequently asked questions

How much does AI consultancy in Rome cost?

With Zendata the initial assessment takes 1–2 weeks and ends with a quote for the chosen scope. A PoC typically costs €3,000–8,000, a production agent €15,000–35,000, and €35,000–60,000 with ERP/CRM integrations and system actions, plus recurring fees.

Do you only advise, or do you also build?

We build. Consultancy is how we choose the process and scope; the deliverable is an agent in production, integrated with your systems, with documentation and handover to your internal team.

How long does an AI project take?

6–12 weeks on a closed scope after the assessment. It is not a guaranteed horizon: it depends on data, permissions and the number of systems to integrate.

Do you only work with companies in Rome?

No. We are based in Rome, but we work with companies across Italy and with international teams, in English or Italian.

Do you cover the EU AI Act and GDPR?

We treat them as project constraints: evidence packs, audit trails, permissions and, where needed, on-prem deployment. This is operational guidance, not legal advice.
