Methodology
How we calculate chatbot ROI
The ROI calculation compares your current annual support cost against what it would be with an AI chatbot handling a percentage of inquiries automatically.
Current cost baseline
We multiply your monthly ticket volume by average resolution time and hourly agent cost to get your annual support spend.
AI automation offset
The automation rate determines what percentage of tickets the AI chatbot resolves without human involvement, reducing agent hours.
Net savings
Your annual savings equals the labor cost reduction minus the SiteSpeak AI subscription. ROI is that savings divided by the subscription cost.

AI chatbots do not replace your support team. They handle the repetitive questions so your agents can focus on complex issues that need a human touch.
24/7 instant responses

Scale without hiring
Handle 10x more support requests without adding headcount. AI chatbots scale with your traffic automatically.
Happier agents
Support agents spend less time on repetitive "where's my order" questions and more time on work that actually needs their expertise.
Consistent quality
AI chatbots give the same accurate answer every time. No variability between agents or shifts.
