AI isn’t the future anymore. It’s already in the driver’s seat.
Whether you’re using HighLevel to run your agency, sell info products, or just automate the crap outta your to-do list… AI can either make you unstoppable, or make your head explode.
So how do you actually get started without the overwhelm?
Recently, Mario Aldayuz, Head of Partnerships at HL Pro Tools, hosted a live session to go deep into the real ways AI is showing up inside HighLevel (and how to avoid rookie mistakes).
If you missed the call, no worries—I’ve got the highlights and pro tips right here.
First Things First: Understand What AI Isn’t
AI is powerful. But it’s not magic.
It’s not going to replace your team or make you money while you sleep just because you connected a workflow. Mario said it best:
“AI is procedural. It still needs direction. Treat it like a tool—not a team member.”
That means you need to train it, prompt it, and monitor how it performs.
Otherwise, you’re just automating chaos. 😅
What to Do Before You Dive Into the AI Pool
Here’s what I recommend (and what we do with our own internal systems at HL Pro Tools):
✅ 1. Educate Your Team (Or Yourself)
Don’t just throw AI into your workflows and hope for the best.
- Understand the difference between tools like ChatGPT, Hey Levi, and MCAI.
- Know what AI can and can’t do—like categorizing leads or responding to missed calls.
- Mario reminded us: AI’s only as good as the direction you give it.
2. Start Playing with the Tools
If you’re not experimenting, you’re already behind. Start simple:
🧠 ChatGPT – Great for research, scripting workflows, and summarizing customer convos.
🗣 Hey Levi – Killer for meeting notes, writing content, or summarizing calls.
📄 TextCortex – My go-to for blog posts, social captions, and marketing copy.
👉 Start with one tool. Test it out. Break things. Learn. Repeat.
3. Streamline Content Creation
Content eats up so much time—and most of us aren’t exactly thrilled about writing blog posts every week.
This is where AI shines:
- Repurpose transcripts into blog posts
- Turn FAQs into social carousels
- Generate cold email sequences in seconds
Let AI do 80% of the grunt work. You focus on polishing and making it sound like you.
Bonus Tip from Mario: Use MCAI Wisely
If you’re using Missed Call AI inside HighLevel, please keep it simple.
Don’t try to turn it into Siri 2.0.
Ask one or two binary questions (“Is this urgent?” or “Are you looking to book a service?”) and give it clear directions on what to do next.
🔁 Less logic = more accuracy.
L;DR – Here’s Your AI Starter Pack
