Enterprise AI Agent Consulting and Custom Development
1) Project-based consulting: Consulting and delivery fees charged per project, with an average contract value of over 10
Key Fields
FIELD STAMPS📌 Background
The AI agent market is projected to exceed 1 trillion RMB by 2026. However, most enterprises lack internal AI R&D and operations teams, making implementation services a critical necessity. Service provider Aijentra reports that its target clients are mid-to-large enterprises with 50 to 5,000 employees. These clients typically possess a digital foundation—such as CRM, ticketing systems, Feishu, or DingTalk—and prefer a phased, single-scenario implementation approach rather than deploying 10 agents simultaneously.
👤 Target Customers
Enterprise-level clients in sectors such as manufacturing, finance, and retail, with budgets managed by CIOs, digital transformation departments, or business line heads.
💰 Revenue Streams
1) Project-based consulting: Consulting and delivery fees charged per project, with an average contract value of over 100,000 RMB; 2) Ongoing maintenance subscription: Monthly maintenance fees charged post-delivery, approximately 20,000 RMB per month; 3) Performance-based commission: Commissions charged based on business performance improvements after successful deployment; 4) Training and knowledge base licensing: Fees charged per session or via annual license (an opportunistic revenue stream with no public figures available).
🧮 Cost Structure
· Labor costs for senior AI experts and industry consultants; · Large language model API usage fees and cloud computing resources; · Channel costs for project management, delivery, and post-launch operations.
