AI agency or an in-house hire

Answers · AI agency for your business

An AI agency is faster to start and brings builds it has already done; an in-house hire knows your business deeply and stays. Many businesses start with an agency to build and set up the first systems, then hire in-house once there is enough to run. The right choice depends on how much AI work you have and how fast you need it.

When an agency makes sense

You need something working within weeks. You do not yet know what to build. You do not have enough AI work to fill a full-time job. You want a team that has built similar systems before.

When in-house makes sense

AI is central to your product. You have a steady stream of builds and changes. You need someone inside every day who knows your systems and people.

Doing both

An agency can build the first systems and train the person who will run them. Westward sets builds up on your own accounts and trains your team, so nothing is locked to us if you bring it in-house later.

Questions

Is an agency cheaper than a hire?

For a defined build, often, because you pay for the build, not a salary. Westward quotes a fixed price per build in writing.

Will I depend on the agency forever?

You should not. Ask any agency whose accounts the work runs on. At Westward, they are yours.

Can you train someone on my team to run it?

Yes. Training is part of every setup.
