4Geeks AI Agents FAQs¶
Do I need a technical team to manage these agents?¶
No. 4Geeks provides a fully managed service. A team of real human geeks from 4Geeks handles all setup, integration, maintenance, and monitoring.
Is there a setup fee?¶
Setup fees may vary depending on the complexity of your integration requirements. This will be determined during the Discovery phase.
Can I integrate the agents with my custom software?¶
Yes. Because our integrations are handled manually by our team of real human geeks, we can connect to almost any platform that offers an API or webhook capabilities, including custom legacy systems.
How do I track my costs?¶
You will have access to a dashboard that shows your real-time credit usage and estimated costs, ensuring complete transparency.
How do I get started with deploying a 4Geeks AI Agent?¶
To begin, sign up on the 4Geeks platform and select a pre-built agent type that matches your needs, such as AI Sales or AI Customer Support. You’ll then provide your business data for training—typically through secure uploads or API integrations. A real human geek from 4Geeks will orchestrate the agent with human oversight, and deployment can happen in as little as a few hours. Start with the Starter plan for testing, and read how credits work to estimate costs based on your expected usage.
What kind of data is required to train the AI agents, and how is it handled?¶
Training requires your business-specific data, such as customer interaction logs, sales pipelines, or operational workflows, which can be uploaded in formats like CSV, JSON, or via integrations with tools like Salesforce. 4Geeks ensures data is processed securely with encryption and compliance to standards like GDPR and SOC 2, though specific certifications aren’t detailed on the page. Data is used only for your agents and not shared externally, with options for on-premise deployment in custom plans to maintain control.
How does human oversight work in practice for ensuring reliability?¶
Human orchestration involves real human geeks from 4Geeks reviewing agent setups, monitoring performance in real-time, and intervening on complex tasks that AI might mishandle, such as nuanced negotiations or edge-case queries. This hybrid approach prevents errors, with agents escalating issues to humans via notifications in tools like Slack. Oversight scales with your plan—basic in Starter, dedicated in Custom—allowing for 100% reliability without constant manual input.
What are some real-world examples of how businesses have used 4Geeks AI Agents beyond the basic descriptions?¶
For instance, a retail company might use the AI Operations Agent to automate inventory forecasting and supplier communications, reducing stockouts by integrating with ERP systems. In software development, the AI QA Agent could run automated tests on code commits via GitHub hooks, catching bugs early. Startups in fintech could deploy the AI Collection Agent for personalized payment reminders, improving recovery rates while complying with regulations—scenarios that build on the pre-built agents but tailored to industry-specific challenges.
How customizable are the pre-built agents for unique business requirements?¶
While pre-built agents provide a strong foundation, customization involves modifying workflows, prompts, and integrations during orchestration. For example, you can add custom logic for the AI Recruiter to prioritize certain skills in resume screening or integrate proprietary APIs. The Custom PAYG plan offers the most flexibility, including building entirely new agents from scratch, with expert consultation to align with your tech stack.
What support and maintenance options are available after deployment?¶
Post-deployment support includes ongoing monitoring by real human geeks from 4Geeks, regular updates to agents based on evolving LLMs, and troubleshooting via email, chat, or dedicated channels in higher plans. Maintenance covers performance optimizations, like retraining on new data, with no extra fees beyond credit usage. For enterprises, Custom plans provide SLA-backed support, including 24/7 availability and priority fixes.
How does credit usage impact costs, and what happens if I exceed my plan’s credits?¶
Credits represent computational resources used for agent actions, like processing queries or generating responses—similar to API calls in other AI services. For example, a simple customer support interaction might use a certain amount of credits, while complex sales pitches could use more. If you exceed your plan’s limits, you can upgrade mid-month or purchase add-on credits. The platform provides usage dashboards to track and forecast spending, avoiding surprises.
Are there any security or compliance features for sensitive industries like finance or healthcare?¶
4Geeks prioritizes enterprise-grade security with data encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and audit logs for agent activities. While not explicitly stated, the platform supports compliance with regulations like HIPAA or PCI-DSS through custom configurations in higher plans. Agents can be deployed in isolated environments to handle sensitive data, and third-party audits are available upon request for high-stakes sectors.
Can I test 4Geeks AI Agents before committing to a plan?¶
Yes, beyond the 5-minute demo video, you can book a personalized demo via WhatsApp or the scheduling tool to see agents in action with your sample data. There’s no free trial mentioned, but the Starter plan’s low entry point allows low-risk testing, with the option to cancel anytime due to no long-term commitments.
How does 4Geeks AI Agents compare to building AI solutions in-house or using competitors like Zapier AI or custom GPTs?¶
Compared to in-house development, 4Geeks saves time and expertise with pre-built, human-orchestrated agents, avoiding the high costs of hiring AI specialists. Versus competitors, it stands out with LLM-agnostic flexibility (not locked to one model like GPTs) and deeper business integrations beyond simple automations in Zapier. It’s ideal for scaling operations reliably, though it may require more setup for highly bespoke needs than no-code tools.
