What drives customer support bot cost

Support bots combine RAG's retrieved context with a chatbot's growing history, so they carry both cost curves at once. Volume is high and margins per conversation are thin, which makes the per-call rate matter more than in almost any other use case here. Caching the knowledge base and product context is the single highest-leverage change.

For Claude Fable 5.1 specifically, that means output tokens cost 5.0x more than input, at $50.00 vs $10.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 3,000/1,000 token split, output accounts for 63% of the $0.0800 per-call cost.
