An SME that previously paid for one 24\/7 support agent (1,440 TLP, $6,000 USD\/month for full coverage) drops to 1,440 TLP, $400-$600 USD\/month with AI plus one part-time human agent focused on escalations\u2014a reduction of 901,330 TLP+ is possible in simple use cases.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"como-se-descompone-el-costo-de-soporte-tradicional\">How the cost of traditional support is broken down<\/h2>\n<p>A typical 24\/7 support operation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>3 agents on rotating shifts<\/strong> to cover 24\/7 with breaks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average salary in Latin America:<\/strong> $1,500-2,500 USD\/month per agent with benefits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monthly total:<\/strong> $4,500-7,500 USD\/month in salaries only.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More infrastructure<\/strong> (computers, software, office): +20%.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Actual total:<\/strong> $5,500-9,000 USD\/month to cover 24\/7.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"como-ia-reduce-el-costo\">How AI reduces cost<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"mecanismo-1-auto-resolucion-247\">Mechanism 1: 24\/7 Self-resolution<\/h3>\n<p>A well-configured AI agent resolves 70-80% of common queries without human intervention.
