5. Calculating the ROI of AI Agents
To determine the financial benefits of AI, businesses can use this formula:
ROI (%) = [(Savings from AI – Cost of AI) ÷ Cost of AI] × 100
Example Calculation:
A business with 10 human agents earning $50,000 per year can replace half of them with AI.
Savings from AI = $250,000 per year
Cost of Vix AI Subscription = $20,000 per year
ROI = [(250,000 - 20,000) ÷ 20,000] × 100 = 1,150% ROI
By deploying AI agents in the Vix UI, businesses immediately reduce costs while improving service quality and scalability.
