You don’t need to be a developer to win with AI. You just need to know what tools to plug in—and how to use them to look like a genius in front of clients.

Recently, I sat down with Mario Aldayuz, Head of Partnerships at HL Pro Tools, for a Zoom call that turned into a masterclass in AI-powered workflows inside HighLevel.

We talked about tools, frameworks, and real use cases—not just fluff—and I want to give you the short version here. If you’re building a better agency, this one’s for you. 👇

AI Is Real. And It’s Already Helping Agencies Win.

First things first: AI isn’t coming. It’s here.
And no, I’m not talking about some “someday” Elon stuff.

I’m talking about right now, inside HighLevel, powering things like:

✅ Smart chatbots
✅ Personalized follow-up messages
✅ Content creation workflows
✅ And yeah… even building no-code mini apps

If you’ve been holding off because it all sounds “too techy,” trust me—you’re going to love what Mario showed us.

The Top Tools I’d Actually Recommend

These are the tools that Mario dropped during the session, and honestly, I’ve either used them—or I’m actively trying to steal use cases from them:

1. HeyLevi

A HighLevel-integrated AI assistant that helps subaccounts do more without bugging you.
Perfect for agencies that want to empower clients (without doing all the work yourself). 🙌

2. BotPress

Think: AI chat flows that don’t require a developer degree.
Great if you want to launch an automated support or sales bot—without writing Python in a basement.

3. TextCortex

Organizes content. Connects to the internet. Makes smart, contextual replies.
It’s like Notion + ChatGPT had a baby and gave it project management powers.

4. Bolt.new

Build no-code apps and workflows fast.
You can sketch out ideas and turn them into real tools without hiring a dev team.

5. Lovable

Test out workflow ideas, prototype faster, and stop wasting hours trying to “figure it out” inside a blank HighLevel automation screen.

The Strategy That Actually Matters

Here’s the deal: Tools don’t win clients. Outcomes do.

So Mario emphasized this simple framework I really like:

Short-Term Leverage → Long-Term Capability

🎯 Use tools like HeyLevi to win quick.

🚀 Explore frameworks like Bolt.new to build toward bigger things.

Start small. Test often. And build in a way that future-proofs your agency.

My Advice If You’re Just Getting Started

Here’s what I tell every agency we work with:

Don’t try to automate everything on Day 1. 

Instead, pick one pain point—something you or your clients do over and over—and automate that.

Then build from there. You’ll be shocked how fast momentum kicks in.
