Let’s face it—chatbots weren’t the best. They were robotic, stiff, and half the time, they made things worse instead of better.
But HighLevel’s new Conversation AI updates? They’re finally making automations feel… well, human again.
If you’re like me and you’ve been looking for a way to scale client communications without making people feel like they’re talking to a toaster, this update is for you.
Mario Aldayuz (our Head of Partnerships here at HL Pro Tools) during a recent live session went deep on the power behind these changes. Spoiler alert: they’re subtle, but they seriously level up the game.
It’s the Little Things: The Typing Indicator That Changes Everything
One of the most underrated updates?
Typing. Indicators.
You know that dot-dot-dot thing that tells you someone’s replying in real time? HighLevel bots now do that. It’s a tiny detail, but it changes the whole tone of a conversation.
Suddenly, your automations don’t feel like cold machines—they feel like someone’s actually on the other end. Clients lean in instead of bouncing.
Conversation AI Dashboard: Nerd Out on the Right Numbers
This is where it gets juicy.
HighLevel now gives you a full-blown dashboard dedicated to your Conversation AI performance. You’ll see:
- 🔁 Number of messages sent
- 🙋 Unique contacts engaged
- ⏳ Hours saved by automation
- 💰 ROI impact
I don’t know about you, but when I can quantify the value of something like this, it’s a lot easier to double down on it (or tweak where needed).
If you’re not using these insights to tighten up your automations, you’re probably leaving leads—and money—on the table.
Why This Matters for Your Business
Here’s the real play:
These upgrades help your AI feel less like a clunky autoresponder and more like a personal assistant who knows what they’re doing.
That means:
✅ More trust with leads
✅ Higher response rates
✅ Happier clients
✅ Way less manual back-and-forth for your team
And honestly, anything that gives me back hours of my life and makes the client experience better? I’m in.
Action Steps to Make It Work for You
If you’ve got bots running in HighLevel already—or you’re about to build your first one—here’s what I recommend:
✅ Turn on the typing indicator (trust me, it matters)
✅ Log into your Conversation AI dashboard and actually look at the data
✅ Optimize your flows based on what’s working and what’s falling flat
✅ Split test a few bot scripts—try friendly vs. formal tone, short vs. long responses, etc.
Final Thought: Let AI Be Human
Look, automation is powerful. But when you make it feel like a real convo? That’s when it becomes unstoppable.
The goal isn’t just faster replies—it’s better experiences. And with these new Conversation AI tools, you can finally have both.
