These are selected examples, not the limits of what agents can do. Agent capabilities extend beyond the tasks, industries and regions shown here, and can be adapted to different workflows and business needs.

Agent costs vary dynamically with the scope of the request, conversation context, models and tools used, response length and usage volume. The amounts below are reference examples from verified historical execution records. External service and infrastructure fees should be considered separately.

How to read the costs

For full conversations, Calculated total sums the verified execution records for every displayed turn, including continuation and delegated work. No turns are removed by percentile filtering, and delegated costs are counted only once.

Amounts are converted to USD from agent execution records matched to the request. Models were verified from the same execution traces. All models are listed when a task used more than one. Any continuation after approval is included in the cost.

For the original single-task selection, for agents with at least 10 positive-cost records, the lowest and highest 10% were excluded from selection, rounding the number of records down. No percentile filter was applied to agents with fewer records. Each selected task retains its recorded cost; it has not been replaced by an average. Different models may have different prices.

These amounts are neither fixed prices for future usage nor a complete service price. External services such as image generation, hosting and other infrastructure fees should be considered separately. The examples come from different dates; each detail page includes the record date and cost scope.

Client, brand and personal information has been removed. Examples include summaries and complete available conversations. Full conversations preserve every user and agent message in order, translated into English where needed. The status reflects the outcome reported at the time.
