AI isn’t here to steal your agency clients or launch a robot uprising. It’s here to streamline your business, save time, and (if you do it right) make you look like a genius.
We had another killer Zoom session with my guy Mario Aldayuz from HL Pro Tools, and this one got real nerdy—but in the best way. He broke down the evolution of AI and how it’s actually usable today inside HighLevel and beyond.
If you’ve been on the fence about using AI tools or feel like the whole thing is overhyped… this blog is your cheat sheet to actually make it work for you. 🚀
Wait… Where Are We in the AI Timeline?
Mario kicked things off by walking us through the evolution of AI. Not to get too sci-fi, but here’s the quick tour:
📍 Reactive AI – Think calculators. It only responds to input.
📍 Limited Memory AI – Like ChatGPT. It remembers context and gives nuanced responses.
📍 Theory of Mind & Self-Aware AI – Yeah… we’re not there yet. No sentient robots here, folks. 😅
“AI isn’t magic. It’s the next version of the internet—smarter, faster, and more helpful… if you know how to use it.”
This wasn’t just a history lesson. Mario made it super clear: you don’t need a computer science degree to leverage AI today. You just need the right tools—and a little creativity.
Real-World AI Use Cases (That You Should Totally Steal)
Here’s where things got juicy. We dove into actual ways people are using AI to win inside HighLevel and beyond:
✅ 1. Automate the Boring Stuff
- Missed call follow-ups
- Lead tagging
- Appointment reminders
✅ 2. Upgrade Your Customer Support
- MCAI (Missed Call AI) can answer calls, book appointments, and not screw it up
- No more ghosting leads just because someone was on a lunch break
✅ 3. Crank Out Content at Scale
- Blog posts
- Email newsletters
- Sales pages
Tools like TextCortex or Hey Levi can take your rough ideas and polish them into publishable content in minutes.
How to Start Playing with AI (Without Breaking Stuff)
Mario dropped a great reminder during the session:
“AI is still just a tool. You’ve got to give it direction.”
So if you’re just getting started, here’s how to dip your toes in the water:
🧑🏫 Educate your team. AI is powerful, but it’s not psychic.
🧪 Test a few tools. Try ChatGPT for research. Use Hey Levi for writing help.
🛠 Don’t overcomplicate. One solid prompt is better than five messy ones.
Pro tip: AI doesn’t replace your brain. It amplifies it.
inal Thoughts: Use the Tool, Don’t Fear the Tool
AI isn’t just a buzzword anymore—it’s a competitive advantage.
If you’re not testing, playing, and iterating with tools like Voice AI, MCAI, or content generators, you’re already behind.
But here’s the upside: you don’t have to do this alone. We’ve been in the trenches figuring this stuff out for you.
