AI cuts research time by 30%, forcing lawyers and accountants to rethink hourly billing. Anthropic had to revise pricing after one Claude user on a $200 tier consumed $6,000 in usage. Service providers face pressure as clients know when AI is doing the work.
If you use AI to save on 30% of the time you have dedicated to research, what do you bill for now? So a lot of lawyers, a lot of accountants, a lot of bookkeepers are starting to think through, we need new ways to price. It cannot just be hourly anymore because AI is coming and just ripping a hole through that. And also customers know you're using AI. So therefore there's some more challenge that can be expected along those lines. On the flip side, we also see that AI companies themselves are figuring out and trying to understand what pricing should look like. So I don't know if you saw this headline a few weeks ago, somebody was running the $200 version of Claude and burned through $6,000 worth of usage. And so Anthropic very quickly had to go, right, moving forward, if you're going to be running AI agents, it's going to be PSEs.
