12 hrs/wk × 2 people × 50 weeks = 1,200 total hours/yr.
Of those, ~50% of content drafting (posts, copy, descriptions) is realistically automatable today → 600 hrs saved.
At $35/hr fully loaded, that's $21,000/yr in cost saved.
Squidgy platform cost is estimated from ~2,400 conversations/yr (assumed 4/hr saved). Free under 1,000/yr; $49/mo base above that.
Numbers are estimates. Real outcomes vary by workflow complexity, integration depth, and how aggressively you let the agent act. We bias conservative.
The bottleneck at most agencies isn't strategy — it's production. A copywriter who spends 60% of their week on first drafts is an expensive first-draft machine. AI agents flip this: they produce the first draft in seconds, and your team edits and approves.
Agencies that deploy content agents don't replace their teams. They expand capacity without headcount — taking on more clients, faster, at the same quality bar.
How many hours per week do your team members spend on content first drafts — social, email, ads, blog?
Use the fully-loaded cost of your content team (salary + overhead). Account coordinator to senior copywriter.

Brief Squidgy's Ace agent on your client roster and brand guides. Agents typically go live in a day.
First drafts of social posts, email campaigns, blog outlines, ad copy, and client briefs. The agent works from a brief or brand guide you give it — the account team does final review and edits, not first drafts.
Around 50% — the AI handles the heavy lifting of first-draft production, but human judgement on tone, accuracy, and strategy stays essential. Clients will still know a person reviewed it.
Yes. You give the agent each client's brand guide, past examples, and tone instructions. It drafts in that voice and flags when it's uncertain. Most agencies set up one agent per client.
The agent drafts, a human approves. Every output routes to your review step before it goes anywhere near the client. Squidgy doesn't auto-publish — it drafts and hands off.
Most agencies have their first content-drafting agent live in a day. You can describe the workflow to Squidgy's Ace build agent and it walks you through the setup.
