Free AI consultation: what a good free 30 minutes should leave you with
AgentHive Inc starts with a free 30-minute call. A first call is only useful if you leave with something. Here is what to expect from it.
How our first call works (checked October 19, 2026)
- AgentHive Inc: a free 30-minute call on Calendly, by video.
A buyer's checklist for the free 30
- A straight yes or no on whether AI fits the task you brought
- The first step, in plain words, not a list of tools
- A rough hour or price estimate before you pay anything
- Who would do the work, and where it would live (your accounts, or theirs)
- No pressure to buy on the call
What our free 30 covers
Bring the one task you most want off your plate. On the call you hear whether AI can take it, what we would do first, and roughly how many hours it takes, before you pay anything. If you go ahead, paid time is set up in your own accounts by video.
AgentHive Inc: a free 30-minute call, then $75 for 30 minutes, $150 an hour, or a 10-hour pack for $1,250 ($125 an hour, $625 up front, the rest when the hours start). Paid on Stripe, no contract. Daniel Graham runs every session by video in your own accounts, one task at a time, for owners anywhere in the US. AI Concierge is the $2,000-a-month retainer if you want someone every month.
Book ours if
- You have one task in mind
- You want paid time in 30-minute blocks afterward
- You want the work done in your own accounts
Questions
Is a free AI consultation really free?
Ours is. The 30-minute call costs nothing. Paid time starts only if you choose to buy it.
What should I bring to a free AI consultation?
One task that eats your week, the apps you already use, and roughly how often the task comes up.
What happens after the free call?
If AI fits, you can buy 30 minutes for $75, an hour for $150, or a 10-hour pack for $1,250 on Stripe. No contract.
