$6/task vs $0.65/task—same workflow, different model

June 16, 2026

Not every workflow needs your most expensive model

But most teams can't tell the difference until the invoice arrives.

On Wednesday, June 24 at 1 PM ET, Zapier CTO Bryan Helmig goes live with side-by-side comparisons across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google on identical business tasks—plus the cost tradeoffs that actually matter in production.

You'll see AutomationBench results across six domains (Sales, Marketing, Operations, Support, Finance, HR), domain-by-domain winners, and a repeatable framework for auditing your own workflows when new models ship.

What you'll walk away with:

→ When to use premium models vs. when you're wasting budget
→ How to set re-evaluation triggers for dot releases
→ Proof, not vibes—benchmark data labs already reference

For heads of AI, IT/innovation leaders, and builders running agents.
